Meta has aligned with Elon Musk in urging California lawmakers to halt OpenAI's transition to a fully for-profit model. OpenAI currently operates under a hybrid structure, combining nonprofit and commercial elements, but is in talks to shift entirely to a for-profit entity. Meta's letter to the Attorney General highlights concerns over the potential implications for Silicon Valley's investment landscape.
Musk's legal team has also sought an injunction against OpenAI's transition, citing potential irreparable harm.
