Key claims and evidence
Key claims in source A
- District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, who oversaw the trial, said in court after the verdict that Musk may face an uphill battle in an appeal, because whether the statute of limitations ran out before he sued was a fac…
- Musk had a three-year statute of limitations to sue, and OpenAI’s lawyers said his August 2024 lawsuit came too late because he knew several years earlier about OpenAI’s growth plans.
- There’s a substantial amount of evidence to support the jury’s finding, which is why I was prepared to dismiss on the spot," the judge said.
- This is a huge win for Altman and OpenAI despite the scrapes and bruises on Altman’s persona and leadership," he said.
Key claims in source B
- 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.
