🙆♂️Elon Musk Loses Lawsuit Against OpenAI and Sam Altman
A California jury unanimously dismissed Musk’s case after just two hours of deliberation, ruling that he had filed it too late — the legal deadline had already expired.
Musk had donated $38 million to OpenAI when it was still a nonprofit. His argument was simple: he gave money to build AI for the benefit of humanity, not to create a for‑profit company now valued at over $852 billion. On the stand he said: “It’s not okay to steal a charity.”
Altman presented a different version to the jury, saying Musk’s claims misrepresented the history of OpenAI.
