Jury Clears OpenAI in Musk Trial After Two-Hour Deliberation
A federal jury in Oakland took just two hours to reject all three remaining claims in Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI, Altman, and Microsoft. The case, which once included 26 claims and up to $150 billion in potential damages, ended with zero claims surviving. The verdict hinged on statute-of-limitations issues, with the jury finding Musk knew of alleged misconduct too late to sue.
