A California jury ruled against Elon Musk and rejected his lawsuit alleging that OpenAI boss Sam Altman violated OpenAI’s founding mission. The jury deliberated for about two hours and delivered its determination at a federal courthouse in Oakland. The judge said there was substantial evidence supporting the jury’s finding. Musk, a co-founder of OpenAI in 2015 who later left after disagreements, sued in 2024. He claimed Altman and OpenAI President Greg Brockman acted against the goal of building a nonprofit AI company for societal benefit. Musk sought removal of Altman and Brockman from leadership and asked the court to require OpenAI and Microsoft to return up to $134 billion in ill-gotten gains.
"A California jury ruled against Elon Musk and rejected his lawsuit that claimed OpenAI boss Sam Altman violated the artificial intelligence company's founding mission by converting it from a nonprofit to a for-profit business. The jury deliberated for about two hours before sharing its determination at the federal courthouse in Oakland. There's substantial evidence to support the jury's finding, U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers said, per CNBC."
"Musk was one of the co-founders of OpenAI the parent company of ChatGPT in 2015, but left after having disagreements with how the company was being run. He later sued Altman in 2024, saying he and OpenAI President Greg Brockman acted against its stated goal of developing a nonprofit AI company that could benefit society. The Tesla and SpaceX boss was aiming to have Altman and Brockman booted from their leadership roles at the company."
"He also wanted the court to push OpenAI and Microsoft to return up to $134 billion in ill-gotten gains, as CNBC reported. He quipped in 2024 that OpenAI should change its name to ClosedAI due to its move away from its initial mission. And he posted on X later that year You can't just convert a non-profit into a for-profit, That is illegal."
