Elon Musk loses major OpenAI court battle after jury rules lawsuit came too late

A California federal jury ruled that Elon Musk filed his lawsuit against OpenAI too late, ending the case for now.

The decision covers OpenAI, Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, and Microsoft, but does not decide whether OpenAI broke its original mission.

The ruling removes an immediate legal hurdle to OpenAI’s restructuring and commercial expansion.

Musk may still appeal the verdict.
