Elon Musk’s $134bn claim against OpenAI rests on ‘numbers out of the air’, judge says

The judge in Elon Musk’s more than $130bn lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft has suggested the billionaire’s claim for damages is based on “numbers out of the air”, but ruled he can still make his case to a jury. Lawyers for OpenAI, at a hearing on Friday, tried to convince Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers to dismiss evidence from an expert witness to support Musk’s claim for $134bn in damages.

The world’s richest man argues OpenAI and chief executive Sam Altman defrauded him by abandoning its non-profit roots after he had made charitable donations to the AI lab a decade ago. A trial is set for April.

“A jury is going to understand that [Musk’s expert] is pulling these numbers out of the air,” Rogers told a pre-trial hearing in California’s northern district on Friday.
Assuming California law on evidence is anything like English law, that's the right decision -- it's generally for the jury rather than the judge to decide on the credibility of witnesses and their evidence.

Musk's lawsuit against a coalition of companies that he asserted were illegally boycotting Twitter/X by refusing to buy ads on it, has been dismissed after a judge ruled that what he claimed they were doing wasn't actually an anti-trust violation.
