Overview
- U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers set jury selection for April 27 and reserved roughly four weeks for trial through about May 22, with a pretrial conference on March 13.
- The judge recently declined to toss key claims, saying Musk had shown enough evidence for a jury, and ordered hundreds of exhibits unsealed.
- Musk alleges OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman abandoned the organization’s public-benefit mission for profit-driven deals tied to Microsoft after he contributed roughly $38 million.
- OpenAI says Musk knew of the capped-profit pivot in 2018 and that its nonprofit governance remains central, while Microsoft has asked the court to dismiss the claims against it.
- In a new letter, OpenAI told investors to expect attention‑grabbing claims from Musk, expressed confidence in its defenses, and argued the dispute is worth no more than his $38 million donation.
