Jury Rules Musk Sued OpenAI Too Late
A jury decided Elon Musk waited too long to sue OpenAI. The jury reached its decision in under two hours.
The three-week trial ended with all his claims rejected. Musk had argued OpenAI betrayed its nonprofit roots by chasing profit.
Several top tech figures testified during the trial. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers agreed with the jury's decision. Musk called the result a calendar issue on X. He plans to appeal.
Klear Note — Statute of limitations sets time limits for filing lawsuits. Missing the deadline means courts reject the case, regardless of merit.
