Grifters trying to stymie competing grifts is the ideal use of our throughly corrupt court system. Just the perfect venue for that. It's like an inception of lies and money.

Yeah it is kind of dumb that you can turn from being non-profit to for-profit if it turns out you've struck gold. Cheapens the value of non-profits everywhere if they can turn that around whenever they feel like it.
they didnt strike gold, they are trying to inflict their value crash on the public market. effects will be far reaching, including but not limited to people's retirement plans.

Elon is just mad he didn't think of it first.
No, he did try it back in 2017:
"In late 2017, we and Elon decided the next step for the mission was to create a for-profit entity," OpenAI said. "Elon wanted majority equity, initial board control, and to be CEO.

Elmo is just throwing a tantrum because he wanted to be the one to take them private and roll them into Tesla but the rest of the board said no.
