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

ai generated text

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.

    1. If Sam Altman and the present OpenAI Inc board of directors are intent on becoming a fully for-profit corporation, it is vital that the charity be fairly compensated for what its leadership is taking away from it: control over the most transformative technology of our time.

    1. No thank you but we will buy Twitter for US$9.74 billion if you want.
    2. Probably his whole life is from a position of insecurity.
    3. OpenAI's mission is not for sale—to say nothing of the fact that a competitor who is not able to beat us in the market and instead is just trying to say, 'I'm gonna buy this,' with total disregard for the mission is a likely path there.
    4. I don't think he's a happy guy. I feel for him.

    1. It's time for OpenAI to return to the open-source, safety-focused force for good it once was.
