A nine-person jury in Oakland unanimously found that Musk’s claims had been filed too late under the statute of limitations, ending the most consequential corporate governance trial in the history of artificial intelligence without reaching the merits of whether OpenAI's leaders had “stolen a charity.” The verdict is advisory, meaning Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers of the Northern District of California will make the final determination on liability. But she indicated before deliberations began that she would very likely follow the jury's recommendation.

“You didn't disclose to the United States Senate that you had an interest in OpenAI through a share in a Y Combinator fund, did you?” barked Steve Molo, the combative attorney leading Elon Musk's effort to shut down OpenAI's for-profit business. Altman had admitted that he did have economic exposure to OpenAI through his LP position in the Y Combinator fund. “I didn't mention it in that testimony, but, again, I think it is well understood of what it means to be a passive owner of many venture funds,” Almtan said.

The trial is slated to begin April 27, 2026, as a federal judge considers Musk's claim that Altman and OpenAI abandoned their founding promise to develop AI for the benefit of humanity.
