I hope he appeals. Not cheering for Musk, cheering for the fight.

[enraged_camel]

There's nothing to appeal. Statute of limitations is... just that.

[lowkey_]

IANAL but civil statute of limitations is based on when the prosecuting party reasonably discovered they were wronged and had legal recourse, not when the event happened. It is entirely possible to debate when that was in this case.

[paulpauper]

For criminal cases at least, the statue of limitations is not set in stone. But probably for civil, its much more cut and dry.

[mrhottakes]

Criminal law actually has very specific statutes of limitation as well, depending on the crime.

Cross examination is one of the vanishingly few times you can see billionaires and executives act like human beings instead of sentient PR scripts.

There is nothing that comes out of this fight. Open AI has lost to Anthropic and Google already. And Musk needs to be in prison.

[mrhottakes]

It would just burn more cash unless he can somehow go back in time and change the facts.

[thesdev]

If anyone can afford burning cash for his ego it's the richest man in the world with the biggest ego in the world.

[hoppyhoppy2]

Yes, and more burnt cash (and hopefully emotional energy) would be an acceptable outcome

Musk's pinned tweet:

Regarding the OpenAI case, the judge & jury never actually ruled on the merits of the case, just on a calendar technicality.

There is no question to anyone following the case in detail that Altman & Brockman did in fact enrich themselves by stealing a charity. The only question is WHEN they did it!

I will be filing an appeal with the Ninth Circuit, because creating a precedent to loot charities is incredibly destructive to charitable giving in America.

OpenAI was founded to benefit all of humanity.
