The personal pettiness of the Elon Musk v OpenAI trial - The Guardian

The Elon Musk v OpenAI trial continued this week, with The Guardian reporting that the proceedings have taken on a tone of personal pettiness between the two founders. The trial is part of a broader legal dispute that began when Musk sued OpenAI in 2024.

The article notes that in Meta's fourth-quarter 2025 earnings presentation, Mark Zuckerberg announced plans to spend between $115bn and $135bn on AI infrastructure, nearly double the company's capital expenditure from the previous year. This figure was cited as context for the massive investments being made in AI technology, contrasting with the courtroom focus on personal disagreements.

The case has drawn significant attention due to its implications for AI governance and the direction of major AI companies.
