Published on 5/18/2026

AI Summary
A California jury ruled against Elon Musk in his lawsuit against OpenAI, finding that he filed too late for his claims to be valid. Musk had alleged that OpenAI's transition to a for-profit model breached a contract after he donated $38 million (£28.5 million). The jury deliberated for approximately two hours after three weeks of testimony and evidence review. Musk's additional claims against Microsoft were also dismissed based on the jury's findings about OpenAI. This verdict reflects challenges surrounding Musk's ongoing disputes with OpenAI's leadership.
