Elon Musk loses his case against Sam Altman

A federal jury in Oakland rejected Elon Musk’s main claims against Sam Altman and OpenAI.

The advisory jury found the claims were barred by the statute of limitations, and Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers accepted that verdict.

The ruling is a major setback for Musk’s lawsuit over OpenAI’s shift away from its nonprofit roots.

It could also shape the broader legal and public fight over OpenAI’s governance and future.
