Musk Loses OpenAI Lawsuit: Waited Too Long to Sue

Elon Musk has lost his lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI. A federal jury found Altman, Greg Brockman, and OpenAI not liable. Here's the thing: The jury ruled that Musk waited too long to bring the case, missing the statute of limitations. Musk had accused Altman of illegally turning OpenAI into a for-profit venture with Microsoft's help. The jurors found that Musk knew about the details of his lawsuit as far back as 2021. They also found Microsoft not liable. The judge overseeing the case accepted the jury's unanimous findings. This verdict is a major victory for Altman and OpenAI. OpenAI is also preparing to bring counterclaims, accusing Musk of abusing the legal process. Musk's attorney stated he plans to appeal the decision. This outcome means the court did not rule on the merits of Musk's allegations.
