A U.S. jury on Monday ruled against Elon Musk in his lawsuit against OpenAI, finding the artificial intelligence company not liable to the world's richest person for having allegedly strayed from its original mission to benefit humanity.

In an exclusive interview with Forbes hours after losing his high-wattage legal battle with OpenAI, the SpaceX chief sounded off on the verdict.

The jury unanimously found Musk sued OpenAI and Sam Altman after the statute of limitations had expired, tossing his claims.
