Elon Musk's Lawsuit Against OpenAI Dismissed as Time-Barred

The jury deliberated for less than two hours before unanimously dismissing Musk's lawsuit. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers stated, 'Es gibt eine Fülle von Beweisen, die die Feststellung der Geschworenen stützen, weshalb ich bereit war, die Klage sofort abzuweisen.'

OpenAI's lawyer William Savitt argued that Musk was driven by profit, stating, 'Herr Musk mag in einigen Bereichen ein goldenes Händchen haben, jedoch nicht bei KI.'

Legal Arguments

Musk's lawyer Steven Molo reserved the right to appeal the decision. The trial lasted eleven days and included testimony about OpenAI's governance and Musk's involvement.

OpenAI is now preparing for a potential IPO that could value the company at one trillion dollars. Meanwhile, Musk's AI company xAI is part of SpaceX, which is also planning an IPO.

The jury did not find evidence that OpenAI had deviated from its original goal of developing AI for the benefit of humanity. Microsoft, a major investor in OpenAI, has already committed over 100 billion USD to the partnership.
