Musk Bids $97B for OpenAI
A group led by Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, has reportedly submitted a $97.4 billion bid to acquire OpenAI, the artificial intelligence firm behind ChatGPT. This was reported by the Wall Street Journal.
Musk's OpenAI Bid: A Strategic Shift?
According to the WSJ, Marc Toberoff, Musk's lawyer, presented the offer to OpenAI's board. The bid aims to steer OpenAI back towards its original non-profit roots, operating as an "open-source, safety-focused force for good." This move follows a long-standing disagreement between Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman over OpenAI's transition to a for-profit model.
The $97.4 billion offer represents a substantially lower valuation than OpenAI's projected $340 billion worth. While the board's response remains uncertain, a successful acquisition would mark Musk's largest deal since purchasing X (formerly Twitter).
