Legal experts and regulators are scrutinizing OpenAI's proposed restructuring, which involves converting its nonprofit mission into a grant-making foundation while transferring control of the for-profit entity to a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation. This shift faces significant legal hurdles regarding fiduciary duties and antitrust concerns, particularly after Elon Musk offered $97.4 billion for the nonprofit stake on the condition that the original AGI-safety mission be restored. The outcome will likely depend on whether Delaware and California attorneys general approve the deal or if the board accepts a counter-proposal to ensure fair compensation and maintain independent oversight.
