Summary
A jury declared Elon Musk filed his lawsuit against OpenAI and Sam Altman too late in a Monday afternoon verdict, finding the defendants not liable for any of the claims and ending a dramatic court showdown between two of the AI industry’s leading billionaires—at least for now, as a Musk lawyer says he plans to appeal. Musk filed a lawsuit against Altman and OpenAI in 2024, alleging Altman reneged on an initial promise to operate the AI company as a nonprofit for the public good, making claims of unjust enrichment and breach of charitable trust. Musk’s claims, though, were subject to three-year statutes of limitations, and the jury ruled Monday after two hours of deliberation that he had missed the deadlines to file his lawsuit.
