Tesla CEO Elon Musk rejected OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's proposal to launch a cryptocurrency, citing concerns over the company's reputation.

Altman's ICO Proposal for OpenAI

According to a court filing submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on November 14, Sam Altman suggested an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) for OpenAI to sell its cryptocurrency. The filing described the idea as “scamworthy,” with Musk immediately rejecting it.

Controversy Over OpenAI's Transformation

The ICO proposal came after another controversial suggestion from Altman and OpenAI President Greg Brockman. In 2017, they urged Musk to transition OpenAI from a nonprofit to a for-profit organization. Musk opposed the idea, warning them to either stick to the nonprofit mission or pursue their own ventures.

Consequences and Musk's Decisions

Musk had also threatened to stop funding OpenAI unless the team committed to remaining a nonprofit. Despite this, Altman and Brockman allegedly began working on a plan to restructure OpenAI into a for-profit organization.

Musk's decision to reject Altman's proposal reflects his priority on maintaining OpenAI's reputation and adherence to its original nonprofit mission.
