Elon Musk asked Greg Brockman to settle a lawsuit days before a trial involving OpenAI began. Court filings show that Musk sent a message to Brockman, with some reports describing it as ominous and referencing becoming one of the "most hated men in America" if a settlement was not reached. The trial is ongoing, with Brockman set to testify and facing questions about his worth and the settlement discussions with Musk.
