Jury finds Musk waited too long to sue OpenAI and Microsoft, clearing defendants in landmark AI case

A jury unanimously ruled that Elon Musk filed his lawsuit against OpenAI, Sam Altman, and Microsoft too late, clearing the defendants of liability on all claims after less than two hours of deliberation. The decision is a legal setback for Musk but does not include any monetary award, damages, or operational ruling affecting the companies' businesses. Market impact is likely limited given the factual, case-specific nature of the verdict.
