Musk-OpenAI and Big Tech Earnings on Deck This Week

This is going to be a fun week. First, Elon Musk and Sam Altman square off in a California court over the origins of OpenAI (for more details, see here). The final outcome probably won’t have a huge impact on the ChatGPT company—Musk’s chances of both winning the case and getting everything he wants from a victory seem unlikely, as we wrote here. No matter what happens, though, the courtroom antics should be entertaining. (Musk still has a chance of winning, to be clear). 

And then on Wednesday, four of the biggest tech firms—Google, Meta Platforms, Microsoft and Amazon—are releasing their March quarter numbers after the market closes, likely within a few minutes of each other. (Coincidence, or conspiracy to bamboozle hapless reporters and analysts?) Apple follows on Thursday with its March quarter numbers.
