Let's get straight to the breaking news of the day. Elon Musk just lost his high
00:00:04
stakes lawsuit against Sam Alman and Open AAI. Federal jury ruled unanimously 9 to zero. That Altman and OpenAI did
00:00:12
not betray their nonprofit founding missions. There was a statute of limitations technicality. But I think
00:00:17
they're basically saying Elon, you giant adult toddler, too bad. Scott, we've
00:00:22
been saying this all along that this would happen. >> Look, as predicted, I thought this was
00:00:26
an easy one. I thought this was a messiah complex and sellers regret cosplaying a legal argument. The fact
00:00:32
that he would even bring this case is okay. You don't have a legal argument,
00:00:37
but I'm Elon Musk. >> Let me tell you, all of them came off badly. All kinds of weird dramas between
00:00:43
them, personal dramas, and it's a waste of our legal systems. Time does come
00:00:47
down to Elon Musk and sour grapes. He is the sourest grapes on the planet, even though he's about to become the richest
00:00:53
person on the planet. Right? >> It distills down to a very basic thing. Musk gloss and Alman one.
