Rather unsurprisingly, Sam Altman prevailed over Elon "I don't read the fine print" Musk in the latter's lawsuit against OpenAI.
The ruling was pretty narrow, the Apartheid Era Emerald Heir Pedo Guy™ waited to file until after the statute of limitations had expired, but my guess is that if that had not been the case, he still would have lost, because incompetent, narcissistic, and erratic justified showing his ass to the door anyway.
A jury ruled in favor of Sam Altman in the culmination of a long and bitter legal battle that pitted the richest person in the world against a leader of the AI boom.
The federal jury in Oakland, California, found Altman, OpenAI and its president, Greg Brockman, not liable for Elon Musk’s claims that they unjustly enriched themselves and broke a founding contract made with Musk when founding the startup.
The verdict, delivered after less than two hours of deliberation, is a stark rebuke of Musk and his lawyer’s claims that Altman “stole a charity” through his leadership of OpenAI. It also provides the AI firm with a clear path ahead to pursue going public later this year at about a $1tn valuation.
The jury’s finding is a non-binding, advisory verdict that left Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers with ultimate power to issue her own ruling in the case. Gonzalez Rogers immediately said that she would agree with the jury’s decision and dismissed Musk’s claims.
Sam Altman is lucky that he was facing off against one of the few human beings on earth more loathsome than himself.
