That was quick. After less than two hours of deliberations, a jury handed Sam Altman a decisive victory over Elon Musk—and cleared the way for OpenAI’s massive IPO later this year.

Musk accused Sam Altman and OpenAI of violating the company’s founding mission as a charitable organization by converting it into a for-profit operation. He sought $150 billion in damages. The three-week trial turned ugly. Musk openly clashed with OpenAI’s lawyer…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. I remember sitting on the floor of our condo, surrounded by boxes, writing notes to people I had never met. We had just shipped some of our first orders. No systems. No automation. No playbook. Just a belief that if someone trusted us enough to try what we were building, the least we could do was acknowledge it.

Updated May 18, 2026 02:47PMOne of the most amazing feats of athleticism on Mount Everest this year was done by an unemployed software engineer who lives out of a van.His name is Bartek Ziemski, and he’s a ski mountaineer from Poland. If you haven’t heard of Ziemski, don’t feel bad. Ziemski’s relative anonymity in the world of high-altitude mountaineering is intentional. Unlike many climbers, Ziemski does not maintain a presence on social media, and he does not have a portfolio of brands sponsoring his exploits and plastering him across the Internet. “I’m not a mountaineer at all,” Ziemski, 37, told…
