Summary
Elon Musk and a group of investors have offered $97.4 billion to buy OpenAI, challenging CEO Sam Altman and the company’s shift toward a for-profit model.
The bid, backed by Musk’s xAI and other investors, claims to return OpenAI to its original open-source mission. Altman rejected the offer on X, joking that OpenAI would buy Twitter for $9.74 billion.
Musk, who bought Twitter in 2022 for $44 billion and renamed it X, replied, “Swindler.”
OpenAI argues restructuring is necessary for growth, targeting completion by 2026.
Any investor stupid enough to put money into anything musk says will lose it all and I will point and laugh
Of fucking COURSE he did.
It would be a real shame if someone were to just punch Musk right in the face. A real shame.
Be even more of a shame if they kept doing it for over an hour. A real shame that would be
If they can get $100 Billion, they sure as hell need to fulfill the fiduciary duty and accept.
They will absolutely NOT return it to its open source mission. Why bother lying? This is the least believable group to even try making that statement
I really wish journalists would write, for example, “they say that they want to return it to the mission” rather than “they want to”. They do this with Trump all the time. (“he believes tariffs are a powerful tool” - the fuck he does)
(“he believes tariffs are a powerful tool” - the fuck he does)
It’s plausible that he does believe it given how dumb he is.
why bother lying
because his supporters are morons
Also, they don’t know how to tell the truth.
Let’s be real, they never had an open source mission to begin with, they just wanted to market themselves as the good guy while they slurp up market share. Basically like google with “don’t be evil”.
But yeah, the Muskrat certainly doesn’t have any good intentions either.
Hmmm seem to be missing 100 billion from the Treasury…
