The intense legal battle that has gripped the global tech ecosystem for the past three weeks has finally come to an end—at least for now. Tech billionaire Elon Musk has suffered a major setback in a U.S. court after a jury ruled against him in his high-stakes lawsuit against artificial intelligence giant, OpenAI, and its chief executive, Sam Altman.
Musk had dragged the tech firm to court, accusing Altman of breaching an early non-profit contract by shifting the creators of ChatGPT into a multi-billion-dollar commercial entity, despite Musk having donated $38 million to the project in its foundational years.
