#OpenAi
In a bold move, Elon Musk and his consortium offered a staggering $97.4 billion to acquire
OpenAl, aiming to steer the company back to its
original nonprofit roots. Musk's vision was to realign OpenAl's mission towards open-source, safety-focused Al development. However,
OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, swiftly declined the offer, emphasizing the company's commitment to its current path and independence.oa
Altman's response didn't stop at a simple refusal.
He took to Musk's own platform, X (formerly
Twitter), playfully countering with, "no thank you
but we will buy twitter for $9.74 billion if you
want." This exchange highlights the dynamic
interplay between two of tech's most influential
figures, each steadfast in their entrepreneurial visions. The public banter underscores the
competitive yet innovative spirit driving the tech
industry forward .
