❗She Rejected the Millions… But Why? 💥
When Mark Zuckerberg offered a jaw-dropping $1 BILLION+ to AI genius Mira Murati, everyone expected her to say “yes.”
But she didn’t.
👉 She rejected the entire deal. And so did every single member of her team.
💡 What Happened?
🔹 Mira Murati, former CTO of OpenAI (the mind behind ChatGPT & DALL·E), now leads her own startup — Thinking Machines Lab.
🔹 Zuckerberg wanted to buy her company or hire her entire team for Meta’s Superintelligence Lab.
He made personal offers to multiple team members — some up to $1.5 billion.
> 🔥 Not one person accepted. Not even her co-founder Andrew Tulloch.
🔹 In response, Zuckerberg launched an aggressive hiring wave — but failed again.
💥 Why Did They Say NO?
1️⃣ Loyalty to Mira’s mission — building ethical, safe, and open AI.
2️⃣ Belief in team culture & shared ownership.
3️⃣ Distrust in Meta’s corporate structure and direction.
4️⃣ Money isn’t everything — purpose > paycheck.
🚀 The Message?
> "You can’t buy vision. You can’t buy integrity. And you sure as hell can’t buy loyalty."
Mira chose freedom over fame, and her team stood with her — a move that’s shaking Silicon Valley.
