Report: Musk Urges Forced Auction of OpenAI Shares in California and Delaware
2025-01-10

Elon Musk's legal team has petitioned law enforcement authorities in California and Delaware to mandate the auction of OpenAI shares. The goal is to thwart any potential takeover of OpenAI by external investors following its transition into a profit-oriented entity. OpenAI has firmly denied any intention to hold an auction, asserting that this action is merely a tactical maneuver by Musk's faction aimed at sowing discord. Consequently, a heated confrontation has erupted between the CEOs of the two entities, Musk and Altman.
