00:00A U.S. court has thrown out claims filed by Sam Altman's OpenAI and its top executives by Elon
00:07Musk, who accused the company of betraying a shared vision for it to remain a non-profit
00:13dedicated to guiding artificial intelligence development for the good of humanity. The
00:19nine-person jury found Musk waited too long to file his lawsuit and missed a statutory deadline.
00:26After a three-week trial, the jury deliberated for less than two hours. The trial in Oakland,
00:33California shed light on the bitter falling out between the two Silicon Valley titans and the
00:39beginnings of OpenAI, now a company valued at nearly $1 trillion and moving toward potentially
00:47one of the largest initial public offerings in history. Musk, an early investor in the AI company,
00:54sued OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Its president, Greg Brockman, and Microsoft were allegedly betraying
01:02an agreement about keeping OpenAI as a non-profit that benefits humanity. However, Altman and OpenAI
01:10claimed there was never a promise to keep OpenAI a non-profit forever. They argued Musk's lawsuits
01:17aim to undercut the company's rapid growth and bolster Musk's XAI, which he launched in 2023 as a
01:25competitor. Musk posted on his social media platform X that he would file an appeal.
