Elon Musk lost in court to Sam Altman

A jury in the Federal District Court of Northern California rejected billionaire Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI management, including its CEO Sam Altman. BBC News reports this.

The decision was made unanimously. Jurors said Musk filed the lawsuit after the statute of limitations for such cases had expired.

During the three-week trial, the jury reviewed internal correspondence and heard testimony from the parties, and reached a verdict after deliberating for two hours.

Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers will make the final decision, but has already said her decision is the same as the jury's verdict. “I think there is enough evidence to support the jury's conclusion that I am prepared to dismiss the case immediately,” CNN quoted her as saying.

• Elon Musk's lawsuit states that he invested approximately $38 million in the non-profit research project OpenAI, and the company's CEO Sam Altman and the company's president Greg Brockman violated the original agreements and focused on profiting from their AI developments. Although, according to Musk, they were supposed to develop the startup as a non-profit organization and conduct research in the field of artificial intelligence for the benefit of society.
• Musk demanded that Altman and Brockman be removed from the management of OpenAI, the company's commercial division be terminated, and compensation for damages caused to him, which he estimated at an amount that could reach $150 billion. He promised to transfer this money to the non-profit division of OpenAI.
