A federal judge on Tuesday denied Elon Musk’s bid to dismiss OpenAI’s claims of a “years-long harassment campaign” by the Tesla CEO against the company he co-founded in 2015 and later abandoned before ChatGPT became a global phenomenon.
In the latest turn in a court battle that kicked off last year, US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled that Musk must face OpenAI’s claims that the billionaire, through press statements, social media posts, legal claims and “a sham bid for OpenAI’s assets” had attempted to harm the AI startup.
Musk sued OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman last year over the company’s transition to a for-profit model, accusing the company of straying from its founding mission of developing AI for the good of humanity, not profit.
OpenAI countersued Musk in April, accusing the billionaire of engaging in fraudulent business practices under California law. Musk then asked for OpenAI’s counterclaims to be dismissed or delayed until a later stage in the case.
OpenAI argued in May its countersuit should not be put on hold, and the judge on Tuesday concluded that the company’s allegations were legally sufficient to proceed.
A jury trial has been scheduled for spring 2026.

Medical transport plane crashes in India with seven aboard
NEW DELHI: A chartered air ambulance with seven people on board crashed in eastern India on Monday, the country’s aviation regulator said.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said the Beechcraft C90 operating a “medical evacuation (Air Ambulance) flight” crashed in the Kasaria area of the eastern state of Jharkahnd.
The fate of the seven people, including two crew members, was not immediately known.
The DGCA said in a statement posted late Monday on social media that a “search and rescue team is at the location,” adding the a team of the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau was also being dispatched.
The aircraft operated by Redbird Airways Pvt Ltd. had taken off Monday evening from Ranchi, capital of Jharkhand, and was flying to Delhi carrying a patient and medical staff.
“The aircraft requested for deviation due to weather” and lost contact with air traffic radar in 23 minutes, DCGA said.
Local media reported the aircraft crashed into a forest.
Last month, a state leader from the western Maharashtra state and four others were killed when their chartered aircraft crashed while landing at the city of Baramati.
