Elon Musk loses lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI

8 hours ago

A federal jury found Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, and OpenAI not liable in Elon Musk's lawsuit, ruling he missed the statute of limitations.
Musk alleged OpenAI illegally became a for-profit venture with Microsoft, but jurors determined he knew details as early as 2021 and waited too long.
Microsoft was also cleared of 'aiding and abetting' violations, and the judge accepted the unanimous verdict without overruling.
The verdict is a victory for Altman, with his attorney calling Musk's suit 'hypocritical' and preparing counterclaims against Musk for legal abuse.
Musk plans to appeal, arguing it's a tragedy OpenAI 'got away with' shifting from a nonprofit, while OpenAI claims he sought to hobble a competitor.
