Elon Musk reportedly sent a text to OpenAI's Greg Brockman about a potential settlement two days before the trial began. The content of the message has been described as an attempt to pressure Brockman into a settlement, with Musk allegedly suggesting that failing to do so would result in Brockman becoming one of the "most hated men in America". The trial has seen Brockman questioned about his wealth, with his net worth being reported as $30 billion, and the message in question may be presented as evidence.
