A federal jury unanimously found all three of Elon Musk's core claims against Sam Altman time-barred after approximately 90 minutes of deliberation. The dismissed counts include breach of charitable trust, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, and restitution for unjust enrichment. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers accepted the jury's findings and dismissed all three claims.
These were the only counts that could have delivered disgorgement, imposed a constructive trust on Reid Hoffman's approximately $30 billion in equity, and placed nonprofit control over OpenAI's for-profit entity. The jury never reached the question of whether Altman or Brockman actually breached fiduciary duties — only that Musk filed suit outside the statute of limitations. Musk lost on procedural grounds.
WTF - I’m not 100% knowledgable about the finer technicalities, however I’d think the richest man in the world’s lawyers might have seen this coming for pete’s sake, so what gives?

Weak.
I think this judge is trying to ensure that Elon Musk lost the case. "Time Barred" should be illegal in any case. Retrial at once!
Opsie?…..

They just can't help themselves. Greed is their opium.
