And last week, Musk filed a lawsuit against Altman and OpenAI, alleging that he’d abandoned the startup’s core mission in pursuit of profit.

But last week, a federal judge in San Francisco disagreed. WSJ senior reporter Aruna Vishwanatha tells host Cordilia James why the verdict is being seen as a setback in efforts to contain Chinese corporate theft. Learn more about your ad choices.
