A California jury has dismissed Elon Musk’s $150 billion lawsuit against OpenAI, ruling in favor of the artificial intelligence company he co-founded alongside CEO Sam Altman and president Greg Brockman.

The jury concluded on Monday that Musk’s claims could not proceed because they were filed after the legal time limit had expired, effectively barring the case on procedural grounds rather than its underlying merits.

Musk had accused OpenAI leadership of improperly benefiting from the organization’s shift toward a for-profit structure, alleging misuse of its original mission.

However, the court sided with OpenAI and its executives, including Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, bringing an end to one of the most closely watched legal disputes in the artificial intelligence industry.

The ruling removes a major legal challenge for OpenAI at a time of intensifying competition across the global AI sector, particularly in the race for advanced generative AI systems.

Further details are expected as the case record is finalized.
