Key claims in source B
- The only question is WHEN they did it!” He said he will be “filing an appeal with the Ninth Circuit, because creating a precedent to loot charities is incredibly destructive to charitable giving in America.

- Since he had filed his suit in 2024, Musk’s claims were therefore past the three-year statute of limitations on bringing such a legal complaint, according to the jury’s decision.
- In his lawsuit, Musk alleged the OpenAI execs “stole a charity” and called OpenAI’s shift away from its nonprofit mission a “textbook tale of altruism versus greed.” Musk said he will appeal the verdict.
