The ongoing federal trial in Oakland, which began jury selection on April 27 and features heated testimony from Sam Altman rejecting Elon Musk's breach-of-charitable-trust claims, remains the dominant factor keeping settlement odds low at 29 percent. Musk's pursuit of up to $134 billion in damages and potential removal of Altman as OpenAI CEO, combined with his rejection of a pre-trial settlement overture that would have required mutual claim drops, signals entrenched positions over OpenAI's shift from nonprofit roots to a capped-profit structure backed by Microsoft. Recent court disclosures on Altman's investments and internal messages have further polarized the sides without any fresh mediation signals, while jury deliberations expected this week and a remedies phase in mid-May leave little room for last-minute compromise before a verdict solidifies the outcome.
