Jury selection is set to begin Monday in a federal courtroom in Oakland, California, for a civil trial between tech billionaire Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The case represents a high-profile legal dispute between two prominent figures in the technology industry.

The trial will take place in Oakland's federal courthouse, with both parties expected to present their cases before a jury. Details about the specific nature of Musk's lawsuit against Altman have not been fully disclosed in available court documents.
