The high-profile lawsuit between Elon Musk and Sam Altman over control of OpenAI has entered the jury deliberation phase in Oakland, California. A nine-member jury will begin closed-door deliberations next week, although their verdict will be advisory, with the final decision resting with Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers. Musk accuses OpenAI, Altman, and President Greg Brockman of breaching commitments to maintain OpenAI's nonprofit status and misusing $38 million in donated funds for commercial purposes.
Musk's legal team argues that OpenAI failed to adhere to nonprofit governance principles, while OpenAI's attorneys counter that no specific corporate structure was promised to Musk. The case also involves Microsoft, OpenAI's largest investor, which Musk claims assisted in breaching charitable trust obligations. As the jury deliberates, the second phase of the trial, focusing on remedies, will commence. Musk seeks the removal of Altman and Brockman from OpenAI and the reversal of its 2025 capital restructuring, along with up to $134 billion in alleged ill-gotten gains.
