Elon Musk lost his lawsuit against OpenAI when a jury unanimously agreed the billionaire waited too long to file the case. Musk's lawyers appeared defeated after the verdict, with Marc Toberoff immediately confirming plans to appeal. The judge swiftly affirmed the jury's decision, leaving Musk's legal team with limited options.

Microsoft celebrated the victory, calling the facts and timeline "clear" while dismissing the claims as untimely. OpenAI's attorney William Savitt wore a wide grin at the verdict, having previously worked as Musk's lawyer during the trial. Musk himself was notably absent from the courtroom, having skipped out after testifying.

Musk's lawyer apologized after the billionaire shirked a court order requiring his availability for further testimony. Musk prioritized attending a summit between Donald Trump and China's President Xi Jinping over remaining for the verdict. The case represents another setback in Musk's efforts to reclaim influence over OpenAI's direction.
