What the jury will actually decide in the case of Elon Musk vs. Sam Altman

A California jury is weighing Elon Musk’s claims that OpenAI, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman breached charitable trust duties tied to his donations.

The jury is also considering whether OpenAI was unjustly enriched through its for-profit arm and whether Microsoft aided the alleged harm.

OpenAI says the case is too late, was filed after unreasonable delay, and is barred by unclean hands.

The verdict could influence OpenAI’s corporate structure and the future governance of a leading AI lab.
