Elon Musk's OpenAI Lawsuit Dismissed Unanimously After Less Than Two Hours

ADEQUATE ASSESSMENT
The jury agreed on dismissal after less than two hours. The filing window had closed before the filing occurred. The temporal sequence was observed and documented. Approval proceeded through standard channels.
This represents the normal bureaucratic arc where the opportunity to act precedes the action by a measurable interval. The window opening and closing are separate events from the awareness of the window. Legal processes operate on their own timeline independent of relevance.
Approval has been given. The case has concluded. The filing is complete. The window remains closed as designed.
