# Jury deliberates in Musk–Altman trial as judge weighs OpenAI’s fate

High-stakes deliberations: Jurors will decide if Altman and Brockman breached charitable trust and unjustly enriched themselves; their verdict will guide but not bind the judge. Potential seismic impact: A ruling for Musk could oust OpenAI’s leaders, unwind its $500 billion restructuring, and complicate Microsoft’s multibillion-dollar stake. Broader AI precedent: The case could set legal standards for nonprofit-to-for-profit conversions in AI, influencing governance models for future ventures.
