Key point

The WSJ reported that OpenAI is preparing to go public, aiming for a September IPO.

Details

The day after Elon Musk lost his lawsuit against OpenAI, the Wall Street Journal reported that OpenAI is ramping up preparations for an initial public offering (IPO).

CEO Sam Altman is targeting a listing by September, and is working with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley on the process. OpenAI is expected to confidentially file IPO paperwork within days or weeks.

The news of OpenAI's IPO comes as SpaceX's IPO filing is also expected to become public soon. SpaceX has become a major competitor to OpenAI following its acquisition of Elon Musk's xAI. With Musk having failed to check OpenAI through litigation, the showdown between Musk and Altman is now expected to play out in the financial markets.
