Zuckerberg and Musk Unite Against OpenAI's For-Profit Shift

Mark Zuckerberg's Meta has joined Elon Musk in opposing OpenAI's transition to a for-profit company, urging California to halt the move. Both tech leaders argue that OpenAI, originally a nonprofit, is exploiting its status to raise funds while planning to shift to a for-profit model. This unexpected alliance comes despite their longstanding rivalry, as they both see OpenAI's potential transition as a threat to fair competition in the AI industry. OpenAI, however, contends that the shift is necessary to attract more investment, having recently raised $6.6 billion.
