Jury hands victory to Sam Altman and OpenAI in battle with Elon Musk

The federal jury in Oakland, California, found Altman and Greg Brockman, OpenAI's president, not liable for unjustly enriching themselves and breaking contracts made with Musk when founding the startup. The verdict is a stark rebuke of Elon Musk and his lawyer's claims that Altman stole a charity through his leadership of OpenAI. The jury's finding is a non-binding, advisory verdict that leaves Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers with ultimate power to issue her own ruling in the case, which is expected to align with the jury's findings. Gonzalez Rogers immediately said that she would agree with the jury's decision.
