OpenAI’s move to for-profit: Is it indeed ‘illegal’?
OpenAI’s potential transformation into a for-profit corporation is not impossible, but it will likely not be an easy process.
On Sept. 25, Reuters reported that ChatGPT developer OpenAI is working on a plan to restructure its core business from no-profit to for-profit.
The move has received controversial feedback from the community, with billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk questioning the legality of such a business transformation.
Musk took to X on Sept. 26 to argue that one “can’t just convert a nonprofit into a for-profit,” adding that such a conversion is “illegal.” However, that’s not the case, according to several sources.
