Elon Musk just got demolished in federal court.A unanimous jury in Oakland just rejected his entire lawsuit against OpenAI and his former best friend, Sam Altman.While the trial, it took three weeks, the jury deliberated for only 90 minutes.Because in 2015, Musk co -founded OpenAI as a nonprofit.He put in $38 million, and by 2018, he tried to take control.

The other founders, they said no, he quit, and in 2023, he launched his own AI company, XAI.And in 2024, Musk sued, claiming that Altman and co -founder Greg Brockman, quote, stole a charity by spinning up a for -profit arm.But the jury's apparent reasoning for throwing this out is that Musk just waited too long.He had three years to file, he sued five years after OpenAI went for profit, and a year after launching his own competing AI company.Something that OpenAI's lead attorney called out in his opening statement, saying, it's too late now to gin up something to harm a competitor.And not only did the jury agree in 90 minutes, the judge, Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, said after the verdict that she was prepared to dismiss Musk's claims on the spot without even waiting for the jury.

And so while Musk, he wanted $134 billion in Altman's job, he got none of that.And in fact, the lawyers for OpenAI and Microsoft were seen hugging on their way out.breaking as I'm recording it.I'm sure Elon Musk is gonna respond to this in a completely normal and calm way.
