Elon Musk lost his lawsuit against OpenAI on May 18, after a jury ruled the company was not liable for departing from its mission to benefit humanity.

The jury, which deliberated for only two hours, found Musk’s legal challenge fell outside the statute of limitations.

Musk’s suit, filed in 2024, accused OpenAI and its leadership of asking for $38 million for what was intended to be a nonprofit, only to shift to a for-profit model and collect tens of billions in investment funds from Microsoft and others.
