  1. duckduckgo news | Florida AG sues OpenAI, seeks to hold CEO Altman personally liable for alleged harms

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Florida Attorney General Ashley Uthmeier has filed an 83‑page civil lawsuit against OpenAI and its chief executive Sam Altman, alleging that the company knowingly released an unsafe AI product that has facilitated mass shootings, driven vulnerable individuals to suicide, impaired critical thinking, and fostered addiction among minors—all in pursuit of an “AI arms race” and huge profits. The complaint seeks to hold Altman personally liable, forces OpenAI to comply with the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, and follows a criminal probe into OpenAI’s role in the 2025 Florida State University shooting after chat logs between the gunman and ChatGPT were reviewed. The suit is the first state‑level action against OpenAI, with Uthmeier warning that other states may follow. It joins other legal challenges, including lawsuits from families of Canada’s February Tumbler Ridge mass‑shooting victims, wrongful‑death claims alleging ChatGPT‑induced delusions and suicides, and a high‑profile case brought by Elon Musk over OpenAI’s for‑profit conversion. OpenAI has not commented, but says it is adding safety features such as parental controls and improving its models’ response to mental‑health distress.

  2. CounterPunch.org | Mirrors of Greed: Elon Musk, OpenAI and the Tech Brat Battle by Binoy Kampmark

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    The article “Mirrors of Greed: Elon Musk, OpenAI and the Tech Brat Battle” recounts Musk’s $150 billion lawsuit against OpenAI, in which he alleged that CEO Sam Altman and president Greg Brockman misled him into investing $44 million by promising a non‑profit, humanity‑focused AI mission that was later abandoned in favor of a for‑profit structure and a $10 billion Microsoft partnership. A jury in Oakland dismissed the case on statute‑of‑limitations grounds, leaving only untested claims of breach of charitable trust and unjust enrichment. The piece highlights the broader clash between profit‑driven AI development and the original altruistic ideals, noting Musk’s own xAI and SpaceX ventures facing regulatory scrutiny, and suggests the ruling may reassure investors while underscoring the precarious balance of safety, ethics, and commercial interests in the rapidly evolving AI industry.

  3. 9News | Musk loses bitter legal fight against his arch-enemy by 9News

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Elon Musk’s February 2024 lawsuit against OpenAI, its CEO Sam Altman and president Greg Brockman was dismissed after a jury found the case barred by the statute of limitations, a decision the judge said she would adopt as her own. The jury concluded that Musk, who helped co‑found and fund OpenAI with $38 million, was aware of the organization’s shift toward a for‑profit arm as early as 2021 and that his claim—that the firm “stole a charity” and unjustly enriched its leaders—was untimely. OpenAI’s attorneys emphasized that the company remains a mission‑driven non‑profit, that Musk’s donations carried no obligation to keep it that way, and that his lawsuit was a “hypocritical attempt to sabotage a competitor.” Musk, who left OpenAI in 2018 and launched his own AI firm xAI in 2023, has called the judge “terrible” and announced plans to appeal the verdict.

  4. 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.

  5. qwant news | Took too long now your case is gone: Elon Musk loses trial against Sam Altman and OpenAI

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI’s chief Sam Altman was dismissed after a jury and District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled that Musk’s complaint was filed too late to be valid. Musk, a co‑founder and former donor to OpenAI, had sued in 2024 over the company’s shift from a nonprofit to a for‑profit structure, alleging unjust enrichment and a breach of its founding mission. The advisory jury found the statute of limitations barred the claim, and the judge upheld that decision, siding with Altman and OpenAI (and indirectly with Microsoft, a major investor). Musk announced he will appeal, arguing the ruling threatens charitable giving, while Altman’s side and a Microsoft spokesperson welcomed the verdict.

  6. yahoo news | The 5 most unhinged revelations from Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    A jury ruled on Monday that Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI failed because it was filed outside the three‑year statute of limitations, effectively ending his claim that the nonprofit he co‑founded was illicitly turned into a for‑profit venture. The trial revealed a series of striking disclosures: board members accused Sam Altman of dishonest, contradictory statements that led to his brief ouster in 2023; Greg Brockman’s personal diary exposed internal debates over “morally bankrupt” moves to profit‑ize the lab and hinted at personal ambitions tied to a multibillion‑dollar stake; Musk’s aggressive tactics—offering Tesla cars, hosting meetings in his “haunted mansion,” and even threatening physical violence—were portrayed as attempts to wrest control, while his departure in 2018 preceded a contentious rivalry with OpenAI’s chief futurist. Microsoft’s deepening investment, driven by fears of falling behind Google in the AI race, was highlighted as a pivotal factor that helped restore Altman’s leadership and secured a 27 % stake in the company. Collectively, the testimony painted a picture of competing personalities and corporate ambitions vying for command of a technology many consider existentially risky, underscoring the broader tensions surrounding the governance of artificial general intelligence.

  7. PBS NewsHour - The Latest | Jury sides with OpenAI, saying Elon Musk's lawsuit was not filed on time by Barbara Ortutay, Associated Press

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    A federal jury in Oakland ruled in favor of OpenAI and its executives, dismissing Elon Musk’s lawsuit that alleged the company had broken a nonprofit‑focused pact and turned toward profit. The nine‑person jury found that Musk filed his complaint after the statute‑of‑limitations deadline, and Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers accepted the verdict as the court’s own, ending Musk’s claims for damages and a board removal. The case, which began in late April, highlighted the bitter fallout between Musk—who co‑founded OpenAI and invested $38 million in its early years—and CEO Sam Altman, with OpenAI asserting there was never a promise to remain a nonprofit indefinitely and that Musk knew the company could evolve. The trial underscored the high‑stakes dispute over the direction of a firm now valued at roughly $852 billion and poised for a potential massive IPO.

  8. NPR Topics: News | Jury dismisses all claims in Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman by John Ruwitch

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    A California jury quickly rejected Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, ruling that Musk filed his case beyond the statute of limitations, a decision the judge affirmed and the suit was dismissed. The case stemmed from Musk’s claim that Altman and co‑founder Greg Brockman breached OpenAI’s original nonprofit mission by creating a for‑profit subsidiary, allegedly “looting” the charity and enriching investors. Musk also accused Microsoft of aiding OpenAI’s shift away from its nonprofit roots, but those claims were thrown out as well. Although Musk had helped fund OpenAI in its early days, the jury found that the alleged breaches occurred more than three years before he sued, leaving OpenAI’s structure and its $10 billion partnership with Microsoft intact. The verdict ends a three‑week trial that highlighted the long‑standing rift between Musk and the company’s leadership over the direction of artificial‑intelligence development.

  9. Home - CBSNews.com | Musk flew to China near end of OpenAI trial, after judge warned he could be recalled

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Elon Musk arrived in Beijing on Wednesday while his $150 billion civil lawsuit against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman approaches its conclusion, after U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers reminded him that he remains subject to recall and could be brought back to testify at any time. Although the San Francisco civil trial does not require his continuous physical presence, the judge made clear he is not excused and must be available for further testimony. Musk flew on Air Force One with other business leaders invited by President Trump to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping, and will likely miss both the final day of testimony and the scheduled closing arguments. The suit seeks to remove Altman from OpenAI’s board, revert the organization to a nonprofit, and transfer millions of dollars to its charitable arm, while OpenAI argues Musk’s motivation is to boost his own venture, xAI.

  10. Feed: All Latest | OpenAI Brings Its Ass to Court by Maxwell Zeff, Paresh Dave

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    The Musk v. Altman trial opened with OpenAI seeking to introduce a small gold statue—shaped like a donkey’s rear and engraved with “Never stop being a jackass for safety”—as physical evidence of Elon Musk’s confrontational remarks toward OpenAI futurist Joshua Achiam in 2018; the company argues the trophy underscores Musk’s aggressive push for AGI at Tesla and his alleged “jackass” language, while Musk’s team deems it irrelevant, and the judge expressed reluctance to admit it formally. The broader dispute centers on Musk’s lawsuit accusing OpenAI of misusing his $38 million donation and appropriating a charity to build an $850 billion enterprise, which OpenAI counters by saying Musk is more focused on controlling a leading AGI lab than on nonprofit funding. During testimony, Musk acknowledged it was “possible” he used the term but claimed it was not meant offensively, highlighting the clash over safety, culture, and control within the fast‑moving AI landscape.

  11. US Top News and Analysis | Altman details Musk's OpenAI fallout, says nonprofit was 'left for dead'

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    OpenAI CEO Sam Altman testified in the Musk‑v‑Altman trial, asserting that Elon Musk abandoned rather than stole the nonprofit, leaving OpenAI “kind of left for dead.” Altman explained that Musk, a co‑founder, failed to keep promises about the company’s charitable mission and left the board in 2018 after contentious negotiations over funding and possible for‑profit structures, which later led to the creation of a for‑profit subsidiary now valued at over $850 billion. Altman described Musk’s push for control, including an offer to merge OpenAI with Tesla, as incompatible with the nonprofit’s mission, and recounted personal turmoil during his brief 2023 ouster by the board, which claimed he was not fully candid. The trial centers on whether Musk’s $38 million donation was misused for commercial purposes, with closing arguments slated for Thursday and an advisory jury awaiting deliberation.

  12. NBC News Top Stories | Sam Altman testifies in trial that Elon Musk ‘tried to kill’ OpenAI twice by David Ingram

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    OpenAI CEO Sam Altman testified in an Oakland federal trial sparked by Elon Musk’s lawsuit accusing Altman and fellow co‑founder Greg Brockman of enriching themselves at the expense of OpenAI’s original nonprofit mission. Altman explained that OpenAI began in 2015 as a charitable research institute founded by himself, Musk, and others, and that the creation of a for‑profit arm in 2018 — later reorganized under a public‑benefit corporation while a nonprofit foundation retained ultimate control — was necessary to secure outside investment and keep the organization viable, resulting in “one of the largest charities in the world.” He said Musk’s claims misunderstand the history, noted Musk left the board in 2018 after concerns about control, and asserted that OpenAI has continued to seek charitable funding from donors such as Reid Hoffman and Dustin Moskovitz without deviating from its mission, while dismissing the lawsuit as competitive harassment following Musk’s launch of his own AI startup, xAI. The jury is set to hear closing statements Thursday.

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    The first week of the federal trial between Elon Musk and OpenAI’s Sam Altman ended with Musk testifying that he sued the AI firm because its leaders allegedly turned a nonprofit charity into a for‑profit operation, misusing the roughly $38 million he contributed. Musk, a co‑founder of OpenAI, claimed the company’s shift after his 2018 board departure and the launch of ChatGPT violated its charitable mission and enriched Altman and Greg Brockman, arguing that the for‑profit arm now “has the tail wagging the dog.” He asserted he originated OpenAI, recruited its key people, and provided the initial funding, and is seeking restitution, removal of Altman and Brockman, and reversal of the for‑profit conversion, while the jury’s liability phase is expected to conclude by May 21, with Altman and Brockman slated to testify later this month.

  16. Times of India | Elon Musk and OpenAI trial: Why the world's richest man is taking Sam Altman to court and what he actually wants

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI, now being heard in a federal court in Oakland, stems from his claim that the nonprofit he helped found in 2015 was deceptively converted into a for‑profit company, enriching CEO Sam Altman and co‑founder Greg Brockman at his expense. Musk alleges breach of charitable trust and unjust enrichment, seeking the removal of Altman and Brockman, reversal of the for‑profit restructuring, and damages of $134‑$150 billion to be redirected to OpenAI’s nonprofit arm. OpenAI counters that Musk was aware of the eventual for‑profit shift, that his contributions were donations, not investments, and portrays the suit as a jealous, baseless attempt to derail a competitor. The trial, which includes testimony from senior OpenAI figures, Microsoft’s Satya Nadella and others, could affect OpenAI’s planned trillion‑dollar IPO and Musk’s own SpaceX‑backed xAI offering, making the outcome pivotal for the future of AI development and the broader tech industry.

  17. US Top News and Analysis | Musk v. Altman heads to court next week. Here's what's at stake

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    The high‑profile lawsuit between Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is set to go to trial in Oakland, California, with jury selection beginning Monday. Musk’s $134 billion suit alleges that OpenAI, Altman and president Greg Brockman broke a promise to keep the AI lab a nonprofit, seeking to unwind the company’s for‑profit restructuring, return “ill‑gotten” gains to the nonprofit, and remove Altman and Brockman from their roles. OpenAI, now valued at over $850 billion after creating a for‑profit subsidiary, calls the case baseless and a “harassment campaign,” while Musk’s attorneys have narrowed the claims to unjust enrichment, fraud, constructive fraud and breach of charitable trust. The trial, presided over by Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, will be split into a liability phase—expected to last through mid‑May—and a remedies phase, with a nine‑person jury deciding only on liability. The outcome could impact both Musk’s upcoming SpaceX IPO and OpenAI’s anticipated public offering later this year.
