A federal judge set a trial in Elon Musk’s challenge in March for Sam Altman’s plans to review Openai’s business structure, which paved the way for a collision between the two billionaires. US district judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in Oakland, California, posted the trial on her calendar for March 16 during a hearing Friday after he previously brought it to the Fast detection, rather than letting it stay until 2027. Gonzalez Rogers rejected the request of Musk last month to wait for the transformation of a non-profit benefits. But she asked a quick trial about the ‘core’ claim from Musk’s 2024 case that Openai’s restructuring plan is illegal.

It asked the judge to reject the case of Musk as an attempt to “undermine a successful participant” after he “was unable to use control over Openai. Openai said earlier this week that it completed a $ 40 billion financing round led by Softbank Group Corp. However, if Openai did not complete its restructuring by the end of 2025, SoftBank could reduce the amount of financing it contributes to the round, from $ 30 billion to $ 20 billion, as Bloomberg reports, while Openai would have the option to find other investors.
