Board Empowerment to Safeguard OpenAI's Future
OpenAI's Strategic Move: Special Voting Rights to Shield Against Elon Musk's Takeover
Last updated:
In a bold move to protect itself from hostile takeovers, OpenAI is considering implementing special voting rights for its nonprofit board. This strategy aims to preserve control over decision-making as OpenAI transitions from a nonprofit to a public benefit corporation, a shift expected to be complete by 2026. The decision comes in the wake of rejecting a $97.4 billion takeover bid from Elon Musk, highlighting OpenAI's vulnerability to acquisition attempts as it delves into the for-profit realm.
