# Jury rejects Musk’s case, clearing OpenAI IPO path

Case dismissed: Jurors unanimously ruled Musk’s claims against OpenAI, Altman, and Microsoft were barred by the statute of limitations after less than two hours of deliberation. IPO prospects: The verdict eliminates a $150 billion legal risk, paving the way for OpenAI’s rumored trillion-dollar initial public offering despite reputational hits to its leadership. Appeal ahead: Musk’s legal team preserved the right to appeal, arguing the court avoided ruling on the substance of his allegations about OpenAI’s nonprofit origins.
