#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 sparked external attention on OpenAI's equity allocation and future development direction, reflecting the intense competition in the AI field. Musk was previously a co-founder of OpenAI but later withdrew due to ideological differences. This incident may be related to Musk's dissatisfaction with OpenAI's development direction. He may want to gain greater influence through the auction of shares or seek an AI development path that is more in line with his philosophy.
