A jury has ruled against Elon Musk in his lawsuit against OpenAI, finding the company not liable for any wrongdoing. The verdict was reached in 2026, with the jury determining that Musk’s claims were untimely.
Musk had argued that OpenAI had abandoned its core mission to act in humanity’s best interests. The jury’s ruling did not address the substance of that argument, instead dismissing the case on the grounds that Musk had not brought his claims within the required timeframe.
The case centered on Musk and OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company he co-founded before later departing. The outcome clears OpenAI of legal liability in connection with Musk’s allegations.
The verdict may carry significance for the broader relationship between Musk and OpenAI, as it closes at least one legal avenue Musk had pursued against the organization. Whether additional legal or public disputes between the two parties could follow is not addressed by the available information.
