Musk loses lawsuit against OpenAI and Altman

a california jury delivered a unanimous verdict in favor of openai, sam altman, greg brockman, and associated entities, dismissing elon musk's allegations that the defendants 'stole a charity' to create a for-profit affiliate. the court determined that the harms musk alleged occurred prior to the legal deadline for filing such claims, rendering the lawsuit procedurally invalid. this decision represents a significant victory for openai as it faces ongoing scrutiny regarding its transition from a non-profit research lab to a capped-profit company. despite this loss in state court, musk continues to pursue separate litigation against openai in federal court.
