OpenAI is considering giving its CEO Sam Altman a 7% equity stake as part of a shift towards becoming a for-profit company. The news has drawn criticism from Elon Musk, who called the move illegal, citing OpenAI’s non-profit origins. The debate follows tensions between Musk and Altman, which began earlier in 2024. In addition, OpenAI's CTO Mira Murati, along with two senior leaders, have resigned. Murati announced her exit, expressing gratitude for her time at the company. Altman praised her contributions and wished her well.
