A federal jury ruled Monday that Elon Musk waited too long to sue OpenAI and its leaders. The decision ended the high-profile case after three weeks of testimony.
The nine-person jury found that Musk's claims fell outside the three-year statute of limitations. They determined he had known about OpenAI's shift to a for-profit structure as early as 2021. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers immediately accepted the advisory verdict and dismissed all claims against Sam Altman, Greg Brockman and Microsoft.
Users on X discussed the jury's decision to dismiss Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI due to it being filed too late under the statute of limitations. Opinions varied, with some noting it was procedural rather than on merits, others calling it predictable or highlighting timing issues.
Wrong. The jury didn’t exonerate OpenAI on the merits. They ruled Musk waited too long to sue, statute of limitations. Basically: “no backsies after the bell rings.” Case dismissed.

Yes, exactly. The case was dismissed purely on statute of limitations grounds (the jury found Musk waited too long after learning of the for-profit shift). No ruling was made on the merits of his claims about OpenAI's direction or early funding.
