Elon Musk has launched an offer of $ 97.4 billion to take control of Openai. The Wall Street Journal He informs that a group of investors led by the XAI of Musk presented an unplayed offer to the company's board of directors on Monday. The group wants to buy the non -profit organization that controls Openai's profit arm.
When comments were asked, an Openai spokesman told Engadget to a <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/sama/status/1889059531625464090″>x publication of CEO Sam Altman. “No thanks, but we will buy twitter for $ 9.74 billion if you wish,” Altman wrote on the social networks that Musk possesses.

“It's time for Operai to return to the open source force and safety focused forever,” Musk said in a state The newspaper. “We will make sure that happens.”
It is difficult to say how serious this offer of Musk and what possibilities, if any, has to succeed. Operai is not a traditional company, and the non -profit structure Sam Altman and others in the company want to move away from May, in fact, protects it from Musk's offer. If Openai is purely a profitable company with traditional actions, Musk's offer would probably trigger what is known in corporate law as a moment of Revlon, where, under certain circumstances, the company's board of directors would be forced to Sell the company to the best bidder to maximize shareholders' profits.
Musk, as you can imagine, was not a fan of Altman's joke, writing “Swindler” in response and then called him “Scam Altman.”
