U.S. jury rules against Elon Musk in lawsuit against OpenAI
A jury in Oakland, California found OpenAI not liable in Elon Musk's lawsuit claiming the company had strayed from its original non-profit mission to benefit humanity. The ruling removes a legal obstacle to OpenAI's planned IPO valuation at approximately $1 trillion. Musk, who co-founded OpenAI but left its board, had sought to block the company's transition to a for-profit structure.
