Al Jazeera – Breaking News, World News and Video from Al Jazeera | Elon Musk loses US lawsuit against OpenAI
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
A U.S. federal jury in Oakland ruled unanimously against Elon Musk in his lawsuit against OpenAI, finding that he had filed the case too late and therefore could not hold the AI company liable for allegedly abandoning its original nonprofit mission. The verdict, reached after less than two hours of deliberation, was welcomed by the judge, who noted that the statute‑of‑limitations issue was a factual question supporting dismissal. Musk, a co‑founder of OpenAI who invested $38 million in its early years, condemned the decision as a “terrible precedent,” blamed CEO Sam Altman and president Greg Brockman for “stealing a charity,” and announced his intention to appeal. OpenAI argued that no guarantee existed to keep it nonprofit forever and that Musk’s lawsuit was untimely, while both sides accused each other of prioritizing profit over public benefit in the rapidly growing AI field.

qwant news | Elon Musk loses court battle against Sam Altman & OpenAI
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
After a three‑week trial, a California jury and U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers rejected Elon Musk’s lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI, dismissing his claims of breach of charitable trust, unjust enrichment, and the alleged violation of a commitment to remain a nonprofit, along with related claims against Microsoft. The court affirmed that OpenAI’s transition to a for‑profit structure did not constitute a breach, despite Musk’s allegations that the company, aided by Microsoft, unlawfully profited and that its leadership should be removed. Musk—who left OpenAI’s board in 2018 and later founded the competing xAI venture—had sought up to $134 billion in “ill‑gotten gains” and the ouster of Altman, but his appeal was denied, marking a major legal setback for him.

qwant news | Sam Altman trial didn't even make it past jury selection before Musk started getting clowned on
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
The article details the opening day of the Elon Musk vs. Sam Altman lawsuit, in which Musk accuses OpenAI’s CEO of betraying the nonprofit mission he helped fund, while Altman’s team argues Musk simply wanted a for‑profit version of the company. During jury selection, several prospective jurors expressed strong negative feelings toward Musk—some calling him “a greedy, racist, homophobic piece of garbage” and others a “world‑class jerk”—but only one claimed they could not be impartial. Judge Yvonne Gonzales Rogers acknowledged the widespread dislike for Musk but emphasized that jurors can still uphold the integrity of the process. The trial’s substantive arguments remain unresolved, with both sides framing the case as a clash between altruism and greed.
