"In his 2024 lawsuit, Musk accused OpenAI, its chief executive Sam Altman and its president Greg Brockman of manipulating him into giving $38 million, then going behind his back by attaching a for-profit business to its original nonprofit and accepting tens of billions of dollars from Microsoft and other investors. Musk called the OpenAI defendants' conduct "stealing a charity.""
A U.S. jury in Oakland, California ruled unanimously against Elon Musk in his lawsuit against OpenAI. The jury found OpenAI not liable to Musk for allegedly straying from its original mission to benefit humanity. The verdict was based on the case being brought too late, with deliberations lasting less than two hours. The trial was viewed as important for how artificial intelligence should be used and who should benefit from it. Musk alleged OpenAI manipulated him into giving $38 million and later created a for-profit business while accepting large investments. The judge indicated an appeal could be difficult because whether the statute of limitations expired was a factual issue.
