Judge Allows Elon Musk's Lawsuit Against OpenAI and Microsoft to Proceed to Trial

A federal judge in California has allowed Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft to proceed to a jury trial scheduled for late April. Musk alleges that OpenAI breached its original nonprofit mission by creating for-profit affiliates and seeks rights to intellectual property from his early contributions. OpenAI denies the claims, calling the lawsuit baseless and part of ongoing harassment. The judge found Musk has legal standing and that key fraud allegations warrant jury consideration, marking a significant escalation in their dispute.
