OpenAI President Brockman's Decade-Long Diary Exposed in Court This Week, Reveals Strategic Tensions Over Non-Profit Status

According to Beating monitoring and court proceedings, OpenAI President Greg Brockman’s decade-long private diary containing hundreds of pages was revealed in evidence discovery this week during litigation with Elon Musk’s legal team. The 2017 diary entries proved particularly contentious, with Brockman writing “the real answer is we want him out” and “we can’t say we promised to stay non-profit. We don’t want to say that. If we become a B-Corp in three months, then what we said before is a lie.” Musk’s lawyers cited these passages as evidence of deliberate misappropriation of the non-profit organization.

OpenAI countered that the statements were taken out of context, noting the same diary entry also stated “stealing the non-profit from him is wrong, morally indefensible.” Brockman testified that making his personal diary public was “extremely painful” but contained nothing he felt ashamed of. Silicon Valley investors mocked the disclosure, with Jason Calacanis calling it “journal-maxxing” and David Sacks dubbing it “discovery-maxxing,” noting Brockman essentially provided ammunition to opposing counsel.
