Elon Musk has lost his lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI

2 days ago

Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI cofounders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, OpenAI, and Microsoft was unanimously dismissed by a California jury due to being filed after the statute of limitations.
The jury found that any harms Musk claimed occurred before the legal deadlines for filing, with specific dates varying by charge, leading to a short deliberation.
OpenAI successfully argued a statute of limitations defense, and Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers noted substantial evidence supporting the jury's decision.
The dismissal removes a major threat to OpenAI, including potential restructuring, ahead of its reported IPO.
Musk's lawyers indicated plans to appeal, with the case currently under development.
