Musk Offers $97.4 Billion to Acquire OpenAI!

This past Monday, Musk sent lawyers to submit an offer to the OpenAI board to purchase all of the nonprofit organization's assets.

And this is not Musk's final offer, as the lawyers stated, "Musk’s group of investors is prepared to match or exceed any higher bid from OpenAI itself."

In response, Altman urgently made a public statement on X:

Thanks, but we kindly decline! However, if you're interested, we’d be happy to buy Twitter for $9.74 billion.
