Elon Musk offers Openai for $ 97.4 billion in unwanted offer: Report

Elon Musk and Etihad of Investors made an unwanted offer of $ 97.4 billion in favor of the non -profit organizations that run Openai, according to a new report from Wall Street Journal.

Musk and his lawyer did not immediately respond to questions from Gizmodo on Monday, but they told the Wall Street Journal that “it’s time for Openai to return to the open power that focuses on safety for good. We will make sure of this.”

This step may throw a key in plans by the CEO of Openai Sam Altman to make Openai an official profit entity. Saying that Musk and Altman are enemies that feel like a little bit of cheapness at this stage. The two men founded Openai together in 2015, but Musk was expelled in 2019 after trying to control the artificial intelligence company. The two men have been in litigation since their hostility was turned in public places in recent years.

Openai was established as a non -profit entity but created a profit entity in 2019 under Altman’s leadership to raise money with companies like Microsoft. Musk, who is trying to make Openai completely, is a violation of his original mission. Openai faced in court by displaying emails that indicated that Musk was more than happy to give up the non -profit situation of AI before leaving it. Openai has already said that he wanted to complete the transition to a profitable entity by late 2026, but it is not clear how Musk’s offer may increase the business.

Openai’s offer is supported by Musk’s AI, Xai, based in Nevada. If the Musk display succeeds, the two companies can be combined, according to the magazine reports. Musk’s statement on making Openai not to be open source and is significantly focused on safety a word about survival is a non -profit organization.

Other investment partners, according to the magazine, include Valor Equity Partners, Baron Capital, Atreides Management and Vy Capital. 8VC, an adventure company controlled by the founder of Palantir Joe Lonsdale, is also involved. Ary Emmanuel, the brother of democratic political power player Ram Emmanuel, is involved, according to the magazine.

While Musk became the most powerful person in the country, after he helped secure the White House of Donald Trump in the November elections, Altman was making his own dealings to ensure that he did not cut the game of few. Openai CEO appeared at the White House on January 21, a day after Trump’s inauguration, to help announce the creation Stargate projectA infrastructure project of artificial intelligence that will finance data centers and other technologies needed to make artificial intelligence tools operate properly.

Openai did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday. But we are sure that they are not very happy with Musk. The question now is whether Openai’s painting can reject it. The magazine indicates that the Musk lawyer says they are ready to fulfill or bypass any other offers for Openai that may progress. Although it is not clear that it may be increased to the company, you can assign other people for sure they will be interested in one of the most important companies in recent years.

When it deserves, minutes after the publication of the WSJ report, Sam Altman Tweet: “No, thank you, but we will buy Twitter for $ 9.74 billion if you want.”
