AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

A California jury rejected Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, ruling unanimously that Musk’s claims were barred by the statute of limitations and therefore could not be considered on the merits. Musk had alleged that Altman breached a non‑profit agreement by turning OpenAI into a for‑profit company after Musk’s early $38 million donation, and also accused Microsoft of aiding the transition; the latter claims were dismissed as a matter of law. The verdict, reached after about two hours of deliberation following three weeks of testimony and document review, marked another courtroom loss for Musk. He responded on X, calling the decision a “free license to loot charities” and pledging an appeal, while OpenAI’s representatives hailed the outcome as a “tremendous victory” for the justice system and reaffirmed their commitment to developing safe AI for humanity.
