Musk appeals $134B OpenAI verdict
elon musk appealed the $134 billion openai verdict, arguing the jury rejected his claims solely on statute of limitations technicalities rather than the merits of the alleged charity theft.
elon musk formally announced his intent to appeal the jury's verdict that dismissed his $134 billion lawsuit against openai and sam altman. the oakland jury deliberated for only two hours before rejecting musk's claims because they determined the alleged unlawful enrichment occurred outside the legal filing window. musk contends the case was decided on a 'calendar technicality' and that the evidence proves altman and brockman stole a charity. openai successfully argued that the for-profit restructuring was necessary to compete with google deepmind and that musk had previously supported a similar structure.
