0:59Now PlayingElon Musk was back on the stand in California on Wednesday for a second day of testimony as part of his lawsuit against OpenAI and its co-founder, Sam Altman.
During tense, and at times combative, cross-examination, Musk said he was a fool for helping to fund OpenAI in its early days.
Musk said he was tricked into believing the ChatGPT creator would remain a nonprofit, instead of the $800 billion giant it is today.
Musk split with the company in 2018, and is seeking more than $150 billion in damages.
