Musk v. OpenAI Jury Begins Deliberating Monday — Standing Hurdle Could End $134B Case Before Merits

TechTimes·high signal

A nine-person Oakland jury begins deliberating May 19 in the most consequential AI corporate governance trial in history. The threshold question: whether Musk's 2024 filing came too late, six years after his last board involvement and four years after his final $44M contribution. Most charitable-trust scholars predict he fails the standing test. If it survives, the jury weighs breach of charitable trust and unjust enrichment, with Musk seeking to remove Altman and Brockman, unwind the October 2025 PBC conversion with Microsoft's 27% stake, and disgorge up to $134 billion.
