During trial testimony May 13, Musk's lead lawyer exhibited a confidential document showing Altman controls over $2 billion in companies that have done business with OpenAI. Holdings include $1.7B in Helion Energy (fusion), $633M in Stripe, and $258M in Retro Biosciences, plus stakes in Cerebras, Lattice, Humane, and Formation Bio — all nine with commercial OpenAI relationships. Altman testified he recused himself from key discussions with those companies. The revelation intensifies conflict-of-interest scrutiny as state AGs and Congress also investigate.
