Elon Musk just lost his massive lawsuit against OpenAI
A federal jury just rejected Elon Musk’s high-stakes lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI after only two hours of deliberation, tossing the claims because the statute of limitations had run out. Musk cofounded OpenAI and sued in 2024, claiming the startup abandoned its founding nonprofit mission in favor of profits. Why it matters: After weeks of chaotic Silicon Valley drama on the stand, the trial ended in a total loss for Musk, leaving Altman’s grip on OpenAI fully intact.
