OpenAI Eyes September IPO Amid Musk vs. Altman Showdown

OpenAI is preparing for a potential initial public offering that could be announced as early as September, according to insiders familiar with the matter. The company has enlisted Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to advise on the listing and may submit confidential paperwork to regulators in the coming weeks.

The move comes shortly after a high‑profile legal dispute involving Elon Musk was resolved, removing a major obstacle to the offering. Musk’s recent court loss cleared the way for the AI developer to advance its public market plans while also highlighting the intensifying rivalry between Musk’s ventures and those of OpenAI’s leadership.

SpaceX, Musk’s rocket company, is also gearing up for its own IPO filing, which is expected to be released soon. The filings reveal substantial investments in artificial intelligence and the Starship program, underscoring the overlap between the two firms’ ambitions.

OpenAI’s chief executive, Sam Altman, has not publicly commented on the offering, and the company has not yet responded to requests for comment.
