$134B AI Trial Starts Monday In Oakland

=== HOOK_SCRIPT ===
On Monday in Oakland, jury selection begins in Musk versus Altman.

=== SHORT_SCRIPT ===
On Monday in Oakland, jury selection begins in Musk versus Altman. Of the 26 claims Elon Musk filed against OpenAI 18 months ago, only 2 survive to trial. The case the jury will hear is not the case Musk has been telling on Twitter. Every fraud claim is gone. What is left is unjust enrichment and breach of charitable trust. And the remedy Musk is asking for, in an amended filing on April 7, is not money. It is structural. Remove Sam Altman as CEO. Remove Greg Brockman as president. Force Microsoft to disgorge its gains. Unwind the entire for-profit conversion. If he wins the 134 BILLION dollars, the money goes to OpenAI's nonprofit charity. Not to him. Not to xAI. OpenAI is currently valued at 852 billion dollars and preparing for a 2026 IPO. The corporate structure that IPO depends on is the structure on trial. Mid May is the verdict window. Stay sharp.

  <h3>Vertical Frame (9:16, 1080×1920) — Jane</h3>
  <p><strong>Framing.</strong> Tight head-and-shoulders, eyes in the upper third, mouth at center. Face fills ~60% of frame width.</p>

  <p><strong>Eye direction.</strong> Direct to camera, locked.</p>
  <p><strong>Background.</strong> Near-black charcoal, simple. No busy environmental detail; only a faint scales-of-justice motif at 6% opacity in the upper-right corner.</p>
  <p><strong>Lighting.</strong> Key light from upper-left at ~4400K, soft fill on the right at 20% intensity, narrow rim from behind-right to lift Jane off the background.</p>

=== HEYGEN_LOOK_SHORT ===
A photorealistic tight close-up portrait of a poised woman in her early 30s with a focused, faintly grim expression. Jane Sterling, wearing a dark blazer with minimalist styling and no jewelry. Near-black charcoal background with no environmental detail, only a faint scales-of-justice motif at 6% opacity in the upper-right corner. Key light from upper-left at roughly 4400K, soft fill on the right at 25%, narrow rim from behind-right suggesting a single overhead courtroom fixture. Eyes locked to camera. 9:16 portrait framing, face fills 60% of frame width, ultrarealistic, sharp focus, shallow depth of field, clean rendering. Cinematic, restrained, courtroom-adjacent gravitas.
