Jury rejects Musk's claims against OpenAI and Microsoft
an advisory jury unanimously rejected elon musk's claims, finding the primary breach of contract claim was barred by the statute of limitations.
after roughly two hours of deliberation, an advisory jury in oakland reached a unanimous verdict favoring openai and microsoft in the high-profile musk v. altman trial. the jury determined that musk's central accusation regarding a breach of charitable trust was invalid due to the statute of limitations. this dismissal automatically invalidated the claim that microsoft aided and abetted the alleged breach. the advisory verdict is not legally binding, leaving the final ruling to us district judge yvonne gonzalez rogers. the three-week trial centered on whether openai abandoned its founding nonprofit mission to profit.
