A federal jury in Oakland, California, rules against Elon Musk in his lawsuit against OpenAI and its chief executive, Sam Altman. Multiple outlets report the jury decides Musk’s claims fail and that a key finding is procedural: Musk waited too long to bring the case. The lawsuit is described as centered on Musk’s allegation that OpenAI strayed from its original nonprofit mission to benefit humanity, including claims that Altman and other leaders pursued personal or financial gain instead of the stated goals. Reporting across outlets says the jury’s decision disposes of the case and ends a closely watched legal fight that had drawn broad attention in Silicon Valley. Several sources note the timing of the deliberations and the speed of the verdict, with some describing the jury’s work as brief. Musk’s representatives indicate he plans to appeal the ruling. The outcome is also reported to remove an obstacle for OpenAI as it looks toward public-market plans, including an initial public offering.

4 months agoJudge Dismisses Musk's OpenAI Lawsuit After Jury Reaches Verdict A nine-person federal jury has sided with OpenAI, Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, and Microsoft, determining that Elon Musk filed his high-profile lawsuit too late under the statute of limitations. The verdict effectively ends Musk’s claims that OpenAI abandoned its founding nonprofit mission to benefit humanity. The jury unanimously concluded that Musk knew or should have known about OpenAI’s shift toward a for-profit model and major Microsoft partnerships years earlier - potentially as far back as 2019–2021, making his August 2024 filing untimely. U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in turn accepted the advisory jury’s finding on this threshold issue and dismissed the case. Musk, a co-founder who contributed roughly $38–44 million in OpenAI’s early days, alleged that the company betrayed its original charitable trust by pursuing massive profits and commercial deals, particularly with Microsoft. He sought up to $150 billion in damages or “ill-gotten gains,” the removal of Altman and Brockman from leadership, and a restructuring to restore the nonprofit focus on safe, humanity-benefiting AI. OpenAI countered that Musk was fully aware of the company’s evolving plans (including for-profit elements he himself had once advocated), waited until after launching his competing xAI venture in 2023, and was motivated by competitive rivalry rather than genuine concern for the mission. They described the suit as “sour grapes.” Developing... Tyler Durden Mon, 05/18/2026 - 13:38
