The Musk v. Altman trial, which ended May 18, 2026, with a jury ruling against Musk on statute of limitations grounds, produced hundreds of pages of internal emails, texts, and meeting notes revealing that Musk himself pushed for OpenAI to adopt a for-profit structure in 2017 — demanding majority equity, the CEO title, and the power to merge OpenAI into Tesla. The evidence complicates Musk's public narrative that Altman "stole" a nonprofit, particularly given that his own AI company, xAI, quietly dropped its public benefit corporation status in May 2024 while his lawyers were still describing it as one in court filings.
