Musk Vows Appeal After Losing $150 Billion OpenAI Lawsuit
The jury ruled Musk filed too late, leaving OpenAI’s nonprofit-mission claims unresolved after less than 2 hours of deliberation.
- On Monday, a California federal jury ruled against Elon Musk in his lawsuit against OpenAI, determining he waited too long to file the case. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers immediately adopted the decision as final.
- Because the jury determined the statute of limitations had expired before Musk filed suit in 2024, they never evaluated his accusations of a "breach of charitable trust" against Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, and OpenAI.
- One incident in court showed Musk benefiting from OpenAI by having Greg Brockman send researchers to Tesla to help with autopilot technology, where Sutskever told the team that finding 10,000 images would fix the software.
- Following the ruling, Musk declared that Altman and Brockman enriched themselves by stealing a charity, calling Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers a "terrible activist Oakland judge" in a post he later deleted.
- Dorothy Lund, a Columbia Law School professor, told TechCrunch that Musk's legal strategy was "a bit rich," noting he appeared to have redirected assets in a way inconsistent with the nonprofit's mission.
