A jury in the Musk v. Altman trial delivered a unanimous advisory verdict that Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI was filed too late, with claims barred by statutes of limitations. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers immediately accepted the verdict. Musk had sued OpenAI in 2024, alleging that CEO Sam Altman and president Greg Brockman breached a charitable trust by converting the nonprofit into a for-profit entity, and that they unjustly enriched themselves. OpenAI successfully argued Musk had reason to discover the alleged breach well before 2021, making his 2024 filing untimely. The jury found Musk had reason to suspect he was being misled before 2021, though they did not rule on the merits. Musk announced plans to appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
