The big personalities and high stakes of the trial were on full display in court, as Musk regularly clashed with OpenAI's attorney, accusing him of trying to "trick me."

The judge occasionally scolded the parties involved, at one point going so far as to tell Musk to actually answer the questions he's being asked and warning them to stop talking about whether AI will cause human extinction.

From the reporting I saw, Mr Musk at no time received a documented commitment from OpenAI that they would never go into a for-profit business model.

So, in my view, this trial seems to be focusing upon whether Mr Musk entered into a business deal, one for which he did not know the terms?
