Musk v. Altman week 3: Musk and Altman traded blows over each other’s credibility. Now the jury will pick a side.
Summary
This article covers the final week of a trial where Elon Musk is suing OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, claiming Altman broke a promise to keep OpenAI as a nonprofit organization dedicated to AI safety. The jury sided with OpenAI, finding that Musk's claims are blocked by the statute of limitations (a legal time limit for filing lawsuits), though the judge will make the final decision. The case centers on whether OpenAI's 2025 restructuring into a for-profit entity violated Musk's original vision, with Musk seeking up to $134 billion in damages.
