Elon Musk’s Lawsuit Against OpenAI Will Face a Jury in March

Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI will go to trial after a U.S. judge said there is evidence to support the billionaire’s case. 

Musk sued OpenAI and its co-founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman in 2024, alleging they betrayed their original contractual agreements by pursuing profits instead of the nonprofit’s founding mission to develop AI that benefits humanity.

Musk, who has launched his own for-profit company xAI, was an early financial backer and co-founder of OpenAI. He resigned from the board in 2018 after his bid to take over as CEO was rejected by the other co-founders, who put Altman up for the job. Officially, Musk cited potential conflicts of interest with Tesla’s own AI development for self-driving cars. 

Musk’s lawsuit was unable to stop OpenAI from converting into a nonprofit, and in October 2025, the corporation completed its formal restructuring process. The for-profit branch became a Public Benefit Corporation, with the original nonprofit retaining a 26% equity stake. 

Musk is now seeking monetary damages from what he says are “ill-gotten gains” by OpenAI. He says he invested about $38 million in early funding, as well as guidance and credibility, based on assurances that OpenAI would remain a nonprofit.

7 CES 2026 Technologies That Made Science Fiction Feel Uncomfortably Practical

CES 2026 had no shortage of AI products, but a quieter pattern stood out across booths that had little else in common. Some of the most attention-grabbing technologies weren’t built for screens or productivity dashboards. They were built to be eerily close to us, and for personal spaces like bathrooms, bedrooms, desks, and even the mind itself. 

These devices measured facial blood flow, tracked brain activity, archived daily conversations, analyzed biological waste, and simulated emotional companionship.

Many were shown as consumer-ready systems, complete with pricing, subscriptions, and near-term availability. On their own, each addressed a familiar need such as health tracking, focus, memory, or connection. 

Seen together, they felt like something that sci-fi TV shows like Black Mirror have explored for years. Except this time, the technology was already there. 

Seven technologies stood out at CES 2026 for that reason. Not because they were the most powerful or the most polished, but because they felt familiar in a way that science fiction has been preparing us for. Click the link below to read more.

Florida Lawmakers Renew Push to Launch State Bitcoin Reserve

Less than a year after Florida’s attempts at a state Bitcoin reserve faded, a new bill in the state seeks once more to establish a strategic crypto reserve. 

Filed on Tuesday, HB 1039 from Rep. John Snyder follows two withdrawn attempts – HB 487 and SB 550 – that sought to allocate up to 10% of the state’s funds into Bitcoin last year.

Unlike those bills, Snyder’s would see the creation of the fund exist outside the state treasury, with management placed in the hands of the state’s chief financial officer.

While many states floated legislation to create Bitcoin or crypto reserves last year, only New Hampshire, Arizona, and Texas ultimately passed legislation to create reserves. At least five rejected bills and numerous others maintain pending legislation, according to data from BitcoinReserveMonitor.com. 

Why does Florida want to join the fray? According to the bill, the creation of a reserve would enhance the state’s financial resilience, serve as a hedge against economic inflation and volatility, and provide enhanced financial security to Florida residents.
