Key claims and evidence
Key claims in source A
- Musk knew as early as 2021 that the company was transitioning towards a public-facing and profit-driven model.
- For Musk, the loss is likely to sting not only because of the scale of the case but because it collapsed on procedural grounds rather than a substantive legal examination of OpenAI’s conduct.
- Since Musk filed the lawsuit only in 2024, the company argued he had missed California’s three-year legal window for bringing such claims.
- However, the nine-member jury rejected Musk’s lawsuit in less than two hours of deliberation, ruling unanimously that the claims were filed too late under California’s statute of limitations rules.
Key claims in source B
- It's generated value for the non-profit," somewhere in the $200 billion range, Coates said.
- The case was a "textbook tale of altruism versus greed," Musk said in his suit.
- Musk also accused Microsoft of aiding and abetting the trust breach." It's not OK to steal a charity," Musk said during his testimony.
- Microsoft had generated $9.5 billion in revenue from the OpenAI partnership as of March 2025, according to Michael Wetter, a corporate development executive at Microsoft, who testified during the trial.
