Elon Musk reportedly sent a message to OpenAI's Greg Brockman about a potential settlement just before a trial began. The content and tone of the message are described differently, with some outlets characterizing it as an attempt to strong-arm a settlement, while others mention "ominous texts" and a reference to "World War III" in a related context. Brockman is expected to testify in the trial, during which Musk's lawyers have also questioned his worth.
