Reached for comment by TechCrunch, Musk’s lead counsel Marc Toberoff said, “One word: Appeal.” One wonders on what grounds? In the UK, in a civil case like this, the judge I think comments on the likelihood of an appeal avenue once the verdict has been reached.

On the grounds of "I have infinite money and lawyers to drag this thing out forever, whether I'll win or not."

He lost in the sense that he filed a lawsuit and that lawsuit was dismissed. It seems like a reasonable way to use the word, no?

Obviously so.

You're either responding to an LLM or a badly malfunctioning human.

To be fair, is there any corporation or high net worth individual ever who, after losing a lawsuit, said “You know what, we accept the court’s decision that we were wrong and will be reflecting on how to do better in the future.”

Never. That never ever happens.

> A nine-person jury found that Elon Musk did not bring his lawsuit against OpenAI and Sam Altman until after the expiration of the three-year statute of limitations.

Intersting outcome. So it's more of a dismissal on technical grounds rather than a complete loss.
