On January 10, news emerged that a lawyer for Elon Musk called on the attorneys general of California and Delaware to force OpenAI to auction off a significant stake in the company, escalating the fierce struggle with the company's CEO, Sam Altman. According to reports, Musk's lawyer, Marc Toberoff, wrote to the top legal officials of the states on behalf of large AI investors, expressing hope to participate in a public and competitive bidding process for OpenAI's equity. According to a person familiar with OpenAI's thinking, there are no such auction plans. They added that Musk's camp just wants to 'create more chaos.'
