Breaking: Elon Musk lost the lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI
A federal jury in Oakland unanimously ruled against him after less than two hours of deliberation, finding that his claims (breach of charitable trust and unjust enrichment) were filed too late under the statute of limitations.
U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers accepted the advisory jury's verdict as her own and dismissed the claims. She noted there was substantial evidence supporting the timing issue and said she was prepared to dismiss it herself.
Musk's team immediately preserved their right to appeal. His lead counsel, Steven Molo, told the court they intend to appeal, and another attorney, Marc Toberoff, confirmed the same to reporters.
