Musk believes he can say or do whatever he wants anytime he wants, regardless of the consequences. After getting cold feet on the deal and struggling to sell enough Tesla stock to finance it, he started a public spectacle to trash the company and drive stock price down.
A federal judge on Wednesday indicated a jury will be allowed to decide whether artificial intelligence trailblazer OpenAI hoodwinked its billionaire co-founder Elon Musk during its evolution from a nonprofit research lab into a capitalistic enterprise now valued at $500 billion. Without issuing an official ruling, U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers made it clear that she intended to reject OpenAI's motion to dismiss a 17-month-old case that Musk filed against a San Francisco startup that he helped create in 2015.
