Jury Rejects Musk's $150 Billion OpenAI Lawsuit in Under Two Hours

A federal jury in Oakland dismissed Elon Musk's claims against OpenAI on statute-of-limitations grounds after deliberating for less than two hours — a procedural defeat that never reached the merits.

Elon Musk's legal campaign against OpenAI hit a wall on Sunday when a federal jury in Oakland, California, unanimously dismissed his lawsuit after less than two hours of deliberation. As @ThatLastWarrior detailed, the jury concluded that Musk had failed to file the suit within the three-year statute of limitations. The case, which sought $150 billion in damages and centered on OpenAI's transformation from a nonprofit research lab into a for-profit entity, was never evaluated on its substantive claims.
