The story

A federal jury unanimously ruled that Elon Musk waited too long in his lawsuit against OpenAI and its top executives — a staggering defeat for the Tesla chief in his showdown with archrival Sam Altman. Why it matters: Musk had been seeking billions in damages as well as Altman's ouster from OpenAI, arguing he abandoned the organization's founding mission for profit. But, unless the judge reverses the jury's finding, Musk will walk away empty-handed.

Driving the news: A federal jury unanimously rejected Elon Musk's $150 billion lawsuit against OpenAI and Sam Altman on Monday.

  • Jurors also ruled Musk's charitable trust claims against OpenAI, Altman, Greg Brockman and Microsoft were barred by the statute of limitations.
  • The decision short-circuits a case that threatened to upend the AI industry's power structure.

Between the lines: The decision means neither OpenAI, its executives nor Microsoft will be held liable for claims brought by Musk.

The bottom line: Musk took too long.
