#Musk Calls for Auction of OpenAI Shares#

Elon Musk's demand for an auction of OpenAI shares has sparked widespread attention. Mark Toboloff, Musk's lawyer, representing large AI investors, sent letters to the California and Delaware Attorneys General, urging them to force an auction of OpenAI shares, hoping to participate in a public and competitive bidding process. This move has intensified the fierce battle between Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. OpenAI reportedly has no plans to auction shares and believes Musk's move is intended to create chaos. The motivation behind Musk's demand for an auction of OpenAI shares remains unclear, but it may be related to his concerns about the direction of OpenAI's development. Musk was a co-founder of OpenAI but later left the company. He has publicly criticized OpenAI for deviating from its initial non-profit goals and shifting to a profit-making model. This event has also sparked reflection on the direction of AI development and how to balance technological advancement with societal interests.
