Microsoft doesn’t want any of this
The Verge·May 13, 2026
Microsoft's involvement in the Musk v. Altman trial appears to be reluctant, with the company seemingly unenthusiastic about its participation. Their opening statement took an unusual approach, essentially serving as an advertisement for Microsoft's products, implying that the trial is absurd. The statement highlighted various Microsoft offerings, including Xbox games, in a lighthearted attempt to connect with the jury. Microsoft's overall demeanor in the trial suggests that they would rather not be there, mirroring the sentiment of some observers.
