Key claims and evidence
Key claims in source A
- Following the verdict, Musk announced on social media that he will appeal the decision to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
- Because California law enforces a three-year limit on such claims, the jury determined that Musk’s 2024 lawsuit was filed too late, rendering his arguments about a breached charitable trust untimely.
- Musk lost the case because his claims fell outside the legal statute of limitations.
- Presiding Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers immediately affirmed the advisory verdict and dismissed the claims on the spot, stating that substantial evidence supported the jury’s decision.
Key claims in source B
- A Microsoft spokesperson said the company welcomed the jury's decision.
- US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, who oversaw the case, said she accepted the jury's unanimous findings and would not overrule them.
- He said it was a "tragedy" that OpenAI was able to "get away with" developing a for-profit venture after being founded as a charity.
- Because the jurors ruled that Musk missed the deadlines for his claims, they didn't reach a decision on the merits of his allegations.
