He beat Elon Musk in court once. Sam Altman hired him to do it again.
"Savitt was a natural choice to take the case. For decades, he'd occupied the upper echelons of corporate litigation. He represented Twitter in 2022, suing Musk to force him to go through with his purchase of the platform."
"Savitt's challenge is to show the jury that Musk's real goal is to dismantle OpenAI in an attempt to boost xAI, his own artificial intelligence company."
"During a tense cross-examination, when Musk said he didn't read a document about OpenAI's organization and complained about 'going into the fine print,' Savitt wouldn't let him go."
William Savitt, a prominent corporate litigator, represents Sam Altman in a trial against Elon Musk. Musk claims Altman misled him by changing OpenAI from a nonprofit to a corporate entity. Savitt's task is to demonstrate that Musk's true intention is to undermine OpenAI to benefit his own AI company, xAI. Savitt, known for his low public profile, has gained significant attention during this trial, showcasing his litigation skills against Musk, who has a history with Savitt's law firm.
