#Musk Calls for Auction of OpenAI Shares#

Elon Musk's lawyer, Marc Tobolowsky, representing large AI investors, has called on the California and Delaware Attorneys General to force OpenAI to auction off its large stake in the company, escalating the bitter fight between Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Tobolowsky wants to participate in a public and competitive bidding process for OpenAI equity. People familiar with OpenAI's thinking say the company has no such auction plans, believing Musk's camp is simply "trying to create more chaos." The incident has raised concerns about OpenAI's equity structure and future direction, reflecting the intense competition in the AI field. Musk's conflict with OpenAI has been long-standing, with Musk being a co-founder of OpenAI before leaving due to ideological differences. This event could further intensify the conflict between the two sides and have a significant impact on OpenAI's future development.
