 OPENAI BOARD CONSIDERS SPECIAL VOTING POWERS TO PREVENT ELON MUSK
TAKEOVER (2 MINUTE READ) [6] 

 OpenAI is considering granting new voting rights to its nonprofit
board to help it fight the unsolicited takeover bid from Elon Musk.
Giving the nonprofit's board outsized voting power would ensure it
retains control of the restructured company and is able to overrule
other investors, ensuring OpenAI can fight off hostile bids from
outsiders. OpenAI could also consider a plan that would let
shareholders buy up additional shares at a discount to fend off
hostile takeovers.
