The jury in the Musk v. Altman trial quickly concluded the case: it has therefore expired. This means Elon Musk has failed with his billion-dollar lawsuit. It remains unanswered whether it was lawful for the project, originally funded by donations and founded as a non-profit organization, OpenAI, to transform into a for-profit company with Microsoft's participation against the wishes of major donor Musk.
After weeks of negotiations in the courtroom, the jury needed less than two hours for their decision. The presiding judge immediately accepted the verdict and dismissed the jury. Musk's lawyers have announced an appeal.
