Musk Announces OpenAI Buyout Attempt That Company Never Got
Elon Musk has reportedly made a $97.4 billion bid to acquire OpenAI's nonprofit arm, intensifying the rivalry in Silicon Valley. The bid, made Monday, involves a coalition including xAI, Valor Equity Partners, and other major investors.
Details:
Musk wants to restore OpenAI's open-source, safety-focused mission, backed by figures like Ari Emanuel and Joe Lonsdale, amid his lawsuit against OpenAI for straying from its founding principles
OpenAI is undergoing major changes, including a shift to for-profit, a $40 billion raise at a $340 billion valuation, and a $500 billion AI project. Musk's bid complicates these talks
Despite media attention, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says no official offer has been received. Sources suggest the board will reject it, while Altman jokingly referenced buying Twitter for $9.74 billion
This development could reshape AI's future and corporate control, with the tech world closely watching what may be a major industry shake-up.
