Elon Musk-led Group Makes $97.4 Billion Bid for OpenAI

A bid led by Elon Musk has offered $97.4 billion to buy the nonprofit that controls OpenAI, the artificial intelligence startup he co-founded with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. However, the bid was swiftly rejected by Altman, who countered with a humorous offer to buy Twitter for $9.74 billion. Musk has been engaged in a high-stakes dispute with Altman over the future direction of OpenAI, which is already in the midst of transitioning from a nonprofit to a for-profit firm. The situation is further complicated by the fact that Musk has also sued OpenAI to block this transition, with the case currently in court.
