I'm afraid that the jury will have very little say so in the final outcome of this case.

The high-stakes trial between Elon Musk and OpenAI, led by CEO Sam Altman, began on April 27, 2026, in Oakland, California, with jury selection completed and opening statements expected soon.

Musk, a co-founder of OpenAI, is suing Altman, OpenAI president Greg Brockman, and Microsoft, alleging they betrayed the company’s original nonprofit mission by transitioning to a for-profit structure in 2019 and exploiting his $38 million in funding and name for commercial gain.

Musk seeks over $130 billion in damages—originally up to $150 billion—redirected to OpenAI’s charitable arm, along with the removal of Altman and Brockman from leadership. He claims OpenAI was founded as a "Manhattan Project for AI" to benefit humanity, but was covertly turned into a "wealth machine." OpenAI counters that Musk was involved in early discussions about the for-profit shift, wanted to be CEO, and is now acting out of jealousy and competitive motives to boost his own AI venture, xAI.

Key developments and context:

The trial could impact OpenAI’s planned IPO, valued at up to $1 trillion, and influence the broader AI industry’s direction.

Internal documents, including Brockman’s diary entries, reveal tensions, with one entry reading, “This is the only chance we have to get out from Elon.”

Witnesses expected to testify include Musk, Altman, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and Shivon Zilis, a former OpenAI board member and mother of Musk’s children.

The jury will serve in an advisory role, with U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers making the final decision.

I'm pulling for Elon, big time, over bonesmoking Sam (Scam) Altman ... the guy is a demonic scam artist who, if left unfettered and unchallenged, will harken the end of humanity. He's literally the antithesis to Musk.

"Scam" is Elon's pet name for Sam Altman.

Oh, who is Shivon Zilis you ask?

Musk has 14 children ... God Bless him.

Elon Musk has continued to expand his family with Shivon Zilis, an executive at one of his companies, Neuralink.

The Tesla CEO and Zilis quietly welcomed twins, son Strider and daughter Azure, in 2021. Their third child, daughter Arcadia, was born in February 2024, and a year later, Zilis revealed that she and Musk had welcomed baby No. 4. He is also a father to 10 other children with different partners.

Zilis has previously indicated that Musk offered to be her sperm donor. She has also defended him against critics, including when he was criticized for calling California’s COVID-19 lockdown procedures “fascist" in May 2020.

“No one’s perfect but I've never met anyone who goes through more personal pain to fight for an inspiring future for humanity - and has done so tirelessly for decades,” Zilis wrote on X (formerly Twitter) at the time. “Everyone’s entitled to their opinion but mine is that there’s no one I respect and admire more.”
