Okta Wants to Be the One That Pulls the Plug on Your Rogue AI Agents
Okta is positioning itself as a key provider of identity and security controls for AI agents, responding to enterprise demand for "kill switch" capabilities that can shut down rogue or policy-violating agents. CEO Todd McKinnon highlighted that while 92% of executives report widespread AI agent use, only 22% have proper identity controls in place, creating significant security gaps. Okta's solution involves maintaining a directory of agents, setting access policies, and severing authorization tokens when agents go rogue — a capability already attracting major partners including ServiceNow, Salesforce, and AWS.

Musk Loses OpenAI Lawsuit on a Technicality, Promises Appeal
A jury unanimously ruled against Elon Musk in his lawsuit against OpenAI, finding that his claims were filed too late and are barred by the applicable statutes of limitations. Musk had argued that OpenAI's founders breached a charitable trust and unjustly enriched themselves by abandoning the company's nonprofit mission, but the jury determined he had reason to suspect this before the legal deadlines had passed. Musk has announced he will appeal the decision, dismissing the outcome as a "calendar technicality" rather than a ruling on the merits of his case.
Five Things the Musk vs Altman Trial Actually Taught Us
A high-profile trial in California pitted Elon Musk against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, with Musk alleging that Altman betrayed the company's founding non-profit mission and effectively "stole a charity." Over three weeks, the case featured prominent witnesses including Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever, many of whom contradicted Musk's claims, while Altman's own trustworthiness and financial conflicts of interest also came under intense scrutiny. The trial additionally exposed the personal and political dynamics of Silicon Valley power, including revelations about Musk's relationship with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis and explosive behind-the-scenes text messages, with the jury's verdict now awaited.
