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

PANews, April 5th news, according to Sina Finance reports, on Friday local time, a U.S. federal judge ruled that Elon Musk's lawsuit against the artificial intelligence company OpenAI will commence a jury trial in the spring of 2026. The judge of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, dismissed Musk's request to pause OpenAI's transition to a profit model last month and suggested accelerating the hearing process. The court showdown between the world's richest person and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has made new progress. The two sides previously reached an accelerated hearing agreement regarding OpenAI's shift towards profitability. Musk co-founded OpenAI with Altman in 2015 but exited before the company took off, and in 2023 founded a competing enterprise, xAI. In April of this year, xAI acquired Musk's social media platform X for a valuation of $33 billion, allowing its AI company's valuation to be shared with X's joint investors.
