Elon Musk Ctrl-Alt-Defeated in OpenAI Lawsuit ... Jury Unanimously Throws Out Case

Published

Elon Musk took a major L in court Monday ... because a federal jury ruled OpenA.I. and founder Sam Altman aren't on the hook in the billionaire's explosive lawsuit accusing the company of abandoning its original mission to benefit humanity.

A unanimous jury -- which deliberated less than two hours -- decided Musk waited too long to sue ... ruling the claims fell outside California’s three-year statute of limitations. They determined he was aware of the alleged conduct years before he finally filed the case in 2024 -- and that means OpenA.I., Altman, Microsoft and company president Greg Brockman all walk away without liability.

The court showdown turned into a credibility war between Musk and Altman ... with each accusing the other of caring more about money than protecting humanity from dangerous A.I. tech.
