The IPO plans coincide with major stock market index providers changing rules to allow unprofitable companies, potentially benefiting SpaceX's upcoming public listing. Separately, Senator Bernie Sanders proposed a bill creating a sovereign wealth fund through a 50% one-time tax on AI company stocks. Additionally, Florida became the first state to sue OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, alleging ChatGPT endangers children and deceives parents about its safety.

Senator Sanders wrote that the fund would 'give the public a direct role in determining the future of this technology. [And] guarantee that the trillions of dollars potentially generated by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — not simply to make the richest people in the world even richer.'
We're here to announce that we recently filed a monumental civil lawsuit against Sam Altman and ChatGPT for endangering our kids and deceiving parents into believing that this application is safe for use. It's clearly not. People are getting hurt. Parents are getting deceived. And they need to pay for it." — Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier
