Jury rules against Elon Musk in court battle against Sam Altman, OpenAI
- A jury in Oakland, California, rejected Elon Musk's claims against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, concluding three weeks of testimony in the high-profile lawsuit over the company's for-profit conversion.
- Musk sued OpenAI in 2024, alleging executives "stole a charity" by abandoning its founding nonprofit mission despite his roughly $38 million donation intended for development "for the benefit of humanity."
- OpenAI's legal team argued restructuring was necessary to compete with Google DeepMind, while also revealing Musk had previously pushed to fold the company into Tesla.
- Musk's team sought $134 billion in "ill-gotten gains" and removal of executives, though District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers must now confirm the advisory jury's verdict.
- The verdict arrives as both billionaires prepare companies for public markets; OpenAI recently raised $122 billion at a valuation of over $850 billion, while SpaceX, valued at $1.25 trillion, may publish its IPO prospectus this week.
