OpenAI CEO Sam Altman publicly rejected a staggering $97.4 billion offer from Elon Musk and other investors for control of the AI company. The offer, reported by the Wall Street Journal, sparked a heated exchange on social media, highlighting the ongoing feud between Altman and Musk. Altman's response included a cheeky proposal to buy Twitter for $9.74 billion instead, showcasing the tension between their competing visions for AI development.
The rejected bid aims to establish a valuation floor for OpenAI's assets, particularly its flagship product, ChatGPT. Musk's interest in merging OpenAI with his x.AI venture reflects a desire to return to the open-source principles that initially guided OpenAI's creation. This situation underscores the complexities of transitioning from a nonprofit to a for-profit model in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
