News Summary

• Elon Musk and Sam Altman are poised to face off in a high-stakes trial revolving around the alleged betrayal, deceit and unbridled ambition.
• The trial, which started Monday with jury selection, centers on the 2015 birth of ChatGPT maker OpenAI.
• Musk, who invested about $38 million in OpenAI from December 2015 through May 2017, initially was seeking more than $100 billion in damages.
• But any damages now are likely to be much smaller after a series of pre-trial rulings that went against Musk.
