The Musk vs. OpenAI case will begin a jury trial in the spring of next year.

PANews, April 5th news, according to Sina Finance, on Friday local time, a U.S. federal judge ruled that Elon Musk's lawsuit against the artificial intelligence company OpenAI will start a jury trial in the spring of 2026. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California dismissed Musk's request to halt OpenAI's transition to a profit model last month and suggested accelerating the proceedings. The court showdown between the world's richest man and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has added new development. The parties have previously reached an accelerated trial agreement on OpenAI's for-profit transformation. Musk co-founded OpenAI with Altman in 2015, but exited before the company took off, and in 2023 founded the competing enterprise xAI. In April, xAI acquired Elon Musk's social media platform X at a valuation of $33 billion, allowing the valuation of its AI company to be shared with X's co-investors.
