A US jury ruled against Elon Musk in his lawsuit claiming OpenAI broke its original nonprofit mission. The jury said Musk filed the case too late, ending his attempt to force OpenAI back to a nonprofit and protect its major investors.
Key Facts
Elon Musk sued OpenAI, accusing it of misusing its nonprofit status and enriching investors.
The lawsuit claimed OpenAI misled Musk into giving $38 million before creating a for-profit branch.
OpenAI started as a nonprofit in 2015; Musk left its board in 2018, and the company formed a for-profit in 2019.
A federal jury in Oakland, California, ruled unanimously that Musk's claim was filed too late.
The trial lasted 11 days, focusing on the actions and credibility of Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
Musk wanted OpenAI to revert to a nonprofit, which would have stopped its plans for a public stock offering and affected investors like Microsoft and Amazon.
Musk’s lawyer said they may appeal, but the judge indicated challenging the statute of limitations ruling would be difficult.
The case highlighted tensions about how AI should be developed and who should benefit from it.

The UK regulator Ofcom is updating rules for social media and online platforms to better stop intimate image abuse, including revenge porn and AI-created deepfakes. The new rules encourage using technology to detect and block these harmful images before they spread online.
Key Facts
Intimate image abuse means sharing private sexual or nude images without consent, often to humiliate women and girls.
Ofcom plans to change its rules to force platforms to find and remove these images quickly.
AI-generated deepfakes, fake sexual videos created by artificial intelligence, have made the problem worse.
The new code suggests using "hash-matching" technology that can recognize and block illegal images automatically.
Campaign groups say current efforts are not strong enough and want Ofcom to require tech firms to take tougher action.
The rules aim to stop niche forums that share intimate images of women linked to specific places, posing safety risks.
The new guidelines are expected to start in autumn after approval by parliament.
UK politics leaders, including Keir Starmer and technology secretary Liz Kendall, have called for urgent government action against these abuses.

BMW is releasing a special version of its sixth-generation M3 car called the M3 CS Handschalter that features a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, made only for North America. This model is lighter than previous versions due to parts made from carbon fiber and other materials, and it keeps the 473 horsepower six-cylinder engine used in the standard M3.
Key Facts
The M3 CS Handschalter has a six-speed manual gearbox, unlike the M3 Competition or regular M3 CS which use an eight-speed automatic.
It is rear-wheel drive only, with no all-wheel-drive option (xDrive).
The engine produces 473 horsepower, the same as the regular six-speed M3, not the more powerful M3 Competition engine.
The car is roughly 75 pounds (34 kilograms) lighter because of the titanium exhaust, carbon-fiber seats, carbon ceramic brakes, lighter wheels, and carbon-fiber body panels.
A special paint option called Imola Red costs $4,500.
The M3 CS Handschalter costs $107,100.
BMW plans a future all-electric M3 with four motors based on its Neue Klasse platform, but it likely will not have a manual transmission.
