Instant View: California jury sides with OpenAI over Musk lawsuit

A U.S. jury in Oakland, California, ruled against Elon Musk in his lawsuit against OpenAI, finding the artificial intelligence company not liable for allegedly straying from its original mission of benefiting humanity.
The verdict, reached after less than two hours of deliberation, suggested that Musk brought the case too late.
Analysts, like Dan Ives from Wedbush, expressed that the decision was a huge win for Altman and OpenAI, removing a significant legal threat and clearing the path to the company’s IPO.
The clean legal victory for OpenAI avoids defending any of the underlying conduct; the jury only needed to prove that the statute of limitations had expired.
This decision reportedly lifts a $134 billion overhang on OpenAI, removing impediments to its planned IPO and keeping CEO Sam Altman at the helm.
