Elon Musk said Sam Altman “stole” a non-profit — but the trial showed he had similar aims

A jury quickly rejected Elon Musk’s lawsuit accusing OpenAI founders and Microsoft of misusing a charitable mission.

Testimony showed Musk had also asked OpenAI researchers to help Tesla’s self-driving work, and had sought control of OpenAI’s for-profit arm.

The verdict weakens Musk’s claim that OpenAI founders diverted a charity, while the trial record highlighted similar resource-sharing by Musk.
