Musk has lost his case against OpenAI in the most anti-climactic way possible. Less than 2 hours of jury deliberation despite 3 weeks of testimony and hundreds of documents. The jury didn't weigh in on whether Musk was right or wrong, they just said he fa
One word statement from Elon Musk's lawyer Marc Toberoff to reporters walking out of the courtroom: "Appeal."
the AI trial of the century ending with procedural whimper rather a bang; the jury agreed that Musk was too late but never weighed in on the questions of whether OpenAI did was legitimate.
Sawyer Merritt: Marc Toberoff on today's verdict: "I have a one-word reaction: Appeal. This war is not over. We firmly believe what happened with OpenAI was wrong on a very basic level that you can't raise millions of dollars in a publicly subsidized charity, and when it suits you, just turn into a for-profit operation where the officers and directors of the charity enrich themselves to the tune of billions..."
I'm seeing lots of confusion about why the statute of limitations issue came to a trial at all. Musk and OpenAI disagreed about when Musk could have reasonably become convinced that OpenAI was "stealing a charity," as he alleges.
