- Tech titans unite against common rival
- Zuckerberg backs Musk’s OpenAI challenge
- Both fight to prevent nonprofit-to-profit switch
Strange Bedfellows
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg makes an unexpected alliance by backing Elon Musk’s position on OpenAI.
The social media mogul’s company urges California officials to block OpenAI’s transition from nonprofit to for-profit status.
Money Talks
OpenAI stands at a crossroads facing a $157 billion valuation and a fresh $6.6 billion funding round. The catch? Investors demand the company turn for-profit within two years.
Meanwhile, Meta pledges $37 billion for AI infrastructure this year.
Legal Battle Brewing
Meta claims OpenAI unfairly leverages its nonprofit status for private gain.
The argument echoes Musk’s ongoing lawsuit, which alleges OpenAI and Microsoft aim to create a “for-profit monopoly.” OpenAI fights back by revealing Musk’s early support for a for-profit model.
