Musk is still testifying on day 4 of the trial in Oakland. Altman has been sitting in the courtroom listening from about 25 feet away.
Musk told the jury "it is not OK to steal a charity" and said a win for OpenAI would "give license to looting every charity in America." He called the equity OpenAI offered him after Microsoft's investment "a bribe" and said he refused it. He also told OpenAI's lawyer his questions were "definitionally complex, not simple" and accused him of trying to trick him.
The judge told both Musk and Altman to "start with a clean slate" and keep social media posts "to a minimum" after OpenAI's lawyers raised concerns about Musk's posts during the trial.
Jurors have been shown text messages between Musk and Altman exchanged after Microsoft's investment became public. Trial continues.
