A California jury unanimously ruled against Elon Musk in his lawsuit against OpenAI, Sam Altman, and Greg Brockman. The court barred the claims because Musk filed the case after the statute of limitations expired.
Musk alleged that OpenAI committed breach of charitable trust and unjust enrichment during its shift to a for-profit structure. The lawsuit claimed OpenAI betrayed its non-profit mission through its partnership with Microsoft and misappropriated Musk's early contributions.
Defense attorneys argued that Musk was fully aware of the company's transition plans. The defense further alleged that Musk filed the suit to hinder a competitor to his own AI firm, xAI.
