What Happened in Musk v. Altman Trial When Jury Left the ROOM

Okay, I am not a lawyer so I only understood about half of what just happened. But I am fairly sure, given the context, that Elon Musk's lawyers may have just fucked up big.

Most of his testimony was dull and seemed to exist primarily to get some documents read into the record, which sucks but is a normal part of sitting through trials.

Apple's New CEO Is a 'Hardware Guy'—And That CHANGES Everything
