A lawsuit filed by Elon Musk against Sam Altman was dismissed after a jury in Oakland found the statute of limitations had expired. Musk plans to appeal the ruling. Musk previously sought $150 billion in damages from OpenAI and Microsoft and argued he was defending OpenAI’s non-profit status. During the trial, Musk faced accusations of “selective amnesia,” while Altman faced accusations of lying. The conflict is framed as ongoing rather than resolved. The prospect of additional lawsuits against other tech figures is suggested, including those who moved to Florida to avoid a wealth tax. The idea is that court proceedings could attract media, legal teams, spectators, and business for local restaurants, shops, hotels, and tourism.
"It would entertain the public and bring revenue-starved cities such as Oakland and San Francisco new business by attracting media crews, TV anchors, large legal teams, and crowds of AI trial tourists, all of whom might give new business to local restaurants, shops and hotels, and maybe even have time for sightseeing while a jury deliberates."
