CryptoWorld News reports that Elon Musk withdrew fraud allegations one day before the OpenAI case went to court, and that Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers approved keeping only two claims: unjust enrichment and breach of a public trust. Jury selection will begin on Monday at the U.S. District Court in Oakland, California. Musk is seeking up to $134 billion in damages, asking that any award be given to OpenAI’s charitable division, that its nonprofit status be restored, and that the roles of CEO Altman and President Brockman be removed. Two weeks ago, OpenAI sued, claiming Musk’s proposed remedies amount to a “legal ambush,” and denied any wrongdoing.

The trial will be conducted in two phases: the jury will first issue a non-binding “advisory ruling,” and then the judge will review the remedies and issue a final ruling. Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015 with Altman and others, stepped down from the board in 2018, and in 2023 founded XAI to compete with OpenAI. Last February, OpenAI rejected Musk’s $97.4 billion offer to acquire nonprofit assets, and subsequently completed its transition to a for-profit structure.
