Elon Musk Leads $97.4 Billion Bid To Take Over OpenAI (11440 Views)
(1) Go Down)

A group of investors led by tech billionaire Elon Musk is offering $97.4 billion to take over OpenAI. Musk’s attorney, Marc Toberoff, confirmed that the bid—backed by Musk’s AI startup, xAI, and a consortium of investment firms—aimed to take control of OpenAI and reinstate its founding commitment to serving the public good rather than operating as a for-profit enterprise. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman dismissed the offer in a pointed response on Musk’s social platform X, stating: “no thank you but we will buy Twitter for $9.74 billion if you want.”https://x.com/sama/status/1889059531625464090?t=k5dOmXWBVs2A2fn5xuy05g&s=19 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Elon actually wants Altman on his side, and I have noticed this a long time ago. When OpenAI sacked Altman, Elon was one of the first to assure him of a place to continue his work. Many offers the guy had coupled with threats of wprkers' resignation forced a new board to take over the company, and Altman was called back. Elon is planning something huge. Honestly, AI is everything. Information is everything. Predictive knowledge is everything. Elon is going to be the most powerful man on earth very soon. The Republicans may change the law to make him the president of the United States. 13 Likes |

abis123: Just imagine Elon Musk playing with our intelligence: "Musk’s attorney, Marc Toberoff, confirmed that the bid—backed by Musk’s AI startup, xAI, and a consortium of investment firms—aimed to take control of OpenAI and reinstate its founding commitment to serving the public good rather than operating as a for-profit enterprise." Someone that turned a Twitter that was serving the public good into a for-profit enterprise is now saying he wants to turn an OpenAI from a for-profit enterprise into serving the public good. ELON MUSK IS A CON MAN, DON'T SELL TO HIM. Elon Musk is only good at acquiring already established businesses to boost his fortune, the only business he started from scratch TESLA electric cars is currently doing poorly. Elon Musk ain't a selfmade billionaire abeg, He is just an opportunist. He is currently an American Oligarchy via Donald Trump...watch how he will corner some American industries into his personal estate thanks to puppet Trump. 24 Likes 4 Shares |

Sam already shot it down and even offered to buy Twitter in counter attack. Sam will rather sell to Dangote than Elon. Both are sworn enemies. 5 Likes |

AI is the game changer and the beginning of the doom of mankind. One day when we are no longer, AI will independently push the button. AI will make advancement beyond the reach and control of human intelligence. Yes Musk will lay the foundation... ...But, what do I know? 3 Likes |

GboyegaD: Whoever controls the media controls USA politics. Democrats controlled CNN, Facebook, twitter, Instagram and Co and were winning back to back and imposing she/it on everybody. Musk is a right wing, family kind of person and wants conservatism back, that's why he wants to control media to force it back on people again. So he has to control the major media sources. 3 Likes |

He's against Sam Altman that laboured to make the first generative AI to be possible from making money from it but he's charging people for using his X social media site that he bought. Elon fan boys don't see that Elon is the most ruthless monopolist out there . 8 Likes 1 Share |

abis123: That is a very strong "NO" Musk thought he saw an opportunity now that Deepseek was a threat to Open AI floatation. Still shocked that Sam Altman refused to sell. 2 Likes |

I don't have problems with these billionaires, who am I in the grand scheme of things? My problem is with people taking sides in the billionaires fight. Because at the end of it, whoever wins, we lose.

Ebubu2: The challenge with people like you who follow modern news. Elon Musk like Trump was a core Democrat and only shifted base because they knew what people wanted to hear. Elon Musk's allegiance changed mainly because of his transgendered child and all he is doing is a way of expressing his pain. People like that in my opinion shouldn't be taken serious. 3 Likes |
