Musk vows to appeal after losing case against OpenAI

X owner Elon Musk vowed to appeal a federal grand jury’s verdict against his claim that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was abandoning the company’s original nonprofit vision after it ruled it was not brought in a timely manner.

Musk said the jury did not rule on the evidence of the case, but rather a “calendar technicality,” and reiterated his claims that Altman transitioned OpenAI from a charity model to a for-profit business. 

“Regarding the OpenAI case, the judge & jury never actually ruled on the merits of the case, just on a calendar technicality,” Musk posted on X. “There is no question to anyone following the case in detail that Altman & Brockman did in fact enrich themselves by stealing a charity. The only question is WHEN they did it!”

The trial drew hordes of media coverage as artificial intelligence playmakers and media personnel waited to see how the results would affect
