a federal judge dismissed elon musk's lawsuit against openai and microsoft, which accused the defendants of abandoning their original non-profit charter to maximize profits for microsoft. the judge ruled that musk's injury was speculative and that his challenge to the conversion to a for-profit entity came too late. testimony during the hearing revealed that musk himself benefited from openai's resources in 2017, utilizing researchers to advance tesla's autopilot software without reimbursement. the decision allows openai to proceed with its planned restructuring and partnership with microsoft without this legal overhead.
