Elon Musk wants to buy OPENAI
A lawyer Marc Toberoff, representing Musk and Selo, informed about the submitted offer.
“Time to restore Openai Until strength for a good -focused safety and an open source. We will assure you that this will happen, “said Musk in a published statement.
The offer amounts to $ 97.4 billion and concerns the takeover of the non-profit OpenAI Foundation, which formally controls the company standing behind Chatgpt.
Altman himself rejects the offer
Openai head Altman himself rejected to the offer in the entry on the X. platform.
“No, thank you, but we’ll buy Twitter for 9.74 billion if you want” – he wrote.
Altman and Musk, who were among Openai co -founders in 2015, they have been in conflict for many years, and last year. Musk sued a former partner, accusing him of misappropriation of the statutory mission of an organization based on non-profit ideas, open source and the safe development of AI. A billionaire from South Africa also founded his own company developing artificial intelligence, XAI, which is one of the members of the consortium trying to take over OpenAi.
Microsoft is the largest investor
So far, the largest investor in Openai There is Microsoft. As “WSJ” notes, the offer submitted by Musk complicates Altman’s plans regarding the future of his organization, including transforming it fully into an ordinary enterprise and an investment plan to $ 500 billion into AI infrastructure as part of the “Stargate” project.
Shortly after Altman announced the initiative in the White House, Musk stated that Altman did not have promised money.
