OAKLAND, Calif. - Federal judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers had stern words for Tesla CEO Elon Musk as she prepared to open the trial in his case against ChatGPT-maker OpenAI and its chief executive Sam Altman. How can we get things done without you making things worse outside the courtroom? she asked Musk on Tuesday.
Gonzalez Rogers chastised Musk for the day before making dozens of posts on X, the social media platform he owns, criticizing his opponents, including posts that rendered Altmans first name as Scam.
Her question could also be heard as acknowledgment of a wider challenge that has surfaced during previous trials involving Musk or his companies: When the puckish billionaire known for divisive politics and provocative social media posts enters the courtroom, conventional proceedings can become distorted by his gravitational pull.
Musk claimed on Tuesday that his social media posts were a response to others made by Altman, who also received a warning from the judge. The Tesla CEO alleges in his case that after he co-founded OpenAI in 2015 with Altman and the companys president Greg Brockman, the pair betrayed the companys original mission so that they could enrich themselves. OpenAI and its executives deny those allegations. But it was Musk himself who dominated the first three days of testimony in the trial.

Like the felon, he is a monstrous troll. An extremely immature troll, but a troll nonetheless.

NEVERTHELESS, I don't have time for a Judge who does not rule, but instead admonishes.
