US EditionJudge in Musk v. Altman seats nine-person jury. Opening arguments start Tuesday
Musk seeks more than $130 billion and wants OpenAI’s conversion unwound after a judge narrowed the case to two claims.
- Jury selection began Monday in Oakland for the legal battle between Elon Musk and Sam Altman, with Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers presiding over a nine-juror panel and no alternates.
- Musk sued OpenAI, Sam Altman, and Greg Brockman in 2024, alleging he was 'assiduously manipulated' and 'deceived,' though OpenAI has repeatedly dismissed the lawsuit as 'baseless.'
- Of the 26 original claims, lawyers dismissed 24 to 'streamline the case,' leaving only unjust enrichment and breach of charitable trust claims as the two companies are valued at over $2 trillion.
- Judge Gonzalez Rogers divided the trial into a liability phase through mid-May and a remedies phase beginning May 18, determining whether OpenAI breached its obligations and what damages may apply.
- Musk has requested the court consider unwinding OpenAI's restructuring and funnel up to $134 billion in 'wrongful gains' into the company's charity, pending the remedies phase outcome.
