OpenAI President Reveals Elon Musk’s $80B Mars City Plan in Court Testimony

OpenAI president Greg Brockman told the court that Elon Musk once demanded $80 billion to establish a city on Mars. He said Musk claimed his business track record entitled him to majority ownership and full control. Brockman detailed a tense August 2017 meeting when Musk, unhappy with a proposed equity structure, stormed out clutching a painting. According to Brockman, he even feared Musk might strike him before the outburst ended. The trial also unfolded staggering figures: OpenAI plans to spend $50 billion on computing resources in 2026, while Musk seeks $150 billion in damages. The defense countered by citing Brockman’s 2017 diary entry about his own billion-dollar ambition.
