"At a hearing in Oakland, U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers stated that there was "plenty of evidence" suggesting that OpenAI leaders had promised that the organization's original nonprofit structure would be maintained. She ruled that those disputed facts should be evaluated by a jury at a trial in March rather than decided by the court at this stage, as noted in a Reuters report."
"Musk helped co-found OpenAI in 2015 but left the organization in 2018. In his lawsuit, he argued that he contributed roughly $38 million, or about 60% of OpenAI's early funding, based on assurances that the company would remain a nonprofit dedicated to the public benefit. He is seeking unspecified monetary damages tied to what he describes as "ill-gotten gains." OpenAI, however, has repeatedly rejected Musk's allegations. The company has stated that Musk's claims were baseless and part of a pattern of harassment."
U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled that Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI can proceed to a jury trial and set a March trial date. The judge noted evidence that OpenAI leaders promised to maintain the organization's original nonprofit structure. Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015, left in 2018, and alleges he contributed roughly $38 million—about 60% of early funding—based on assurances the company would remain a nonprofit dedicated to the public benefit. He seeks unspecified monetary damages tied to what he calls "ill-gotten gains." OpenAI rejects the allegations as baseless and harassment. The lawsuit names Microsoft as a defendant, citing its multibillion-dollar partnerships with OpenAI. Microsoft has urged the court to dismiss the claims against it.
