The case hinges on whether OpenAI's founding mission of creating AI as a non-profit for the benefit of humanity has been lost.
Musk helped found the company a decade ago, but he left in 2018 amid disagreements with Altman and others about who would run a for-profit arm of the company that would be set up to raise money.
Musk testified about his role early on.
He says he recruited a key AI researcher and used his contacts at Microsoft and Nvidia to get access to computing power.
And he says he wasn't opposed to setting up a for-profit entity, but he wanted control of it.
In an opening statement, OpenAI's lead lawyer said the other founders were not okay with one person having control.
Musk left, launched a competitor, XAI, and then sued.
The trial is set to run for several more weeks.
