Musk's offer can increase the long -standing tension with Openai CEO Sam Altman during the future of launch.
A consortium led by Elon Musk has said it has offered $ 97.4 billion to buy The billionaire brought a case Starting artificial intelligence to block it from moving to a profit company.
Musk's offer, discovered on Monday, could have increased the long -standing tension with Openai CEO Sam Altman for the future of starting at the heart of a boom in the generative AI technology.
Altman immediately published on X: “No thank you, but we will buy Twitter for $ 9.74 billion if you want.”
The two are already involved in a continuing case. Musk criticizes The OpenAi project, led by $ 500 billion, called Stargate, announced with a large White House fanfar, just after the United States President Donald Trump returned to office, suggesting that the participating investors did not have the project funding.
“It is time for Openai to return to the open code, focused on safety, the force for good that has ever been,” Musk says in the press message. “We will make sure that is happening.”
Openai, Musk, Musk Marc Toberoff's lawyer and Backer Microsoft Microsoft did not immediately answer requests for a comment from the Reuters Agency.
The offer is supported by Musk XAi's AI Company, which can merge with Openai after a deal, according to the Wall Street Journal, which for the first time reported Musk's offer earlier on Monday.
Even without any antitrust consequences, a deal of this size will need Musk and its consortium to raise enormous resources.
Openai was estimated at $ 157 billion in its last funding round in October, strengthening its status as one of the most valuable private companies in the world. SoftBank Group is negotiating a funding round of up to $ 40 billion in Openai with $ 300 billion, including new funds, News Agency Agency reported in January.
Musk was the co -founder of Openai with Altman in 2015, but left before the company took off. He founded the competitive AI start -up XAI in 2023
Openai is now trying to go for a non-profit target from a non-profit organization, which, in his opinion, is necessary to provide the capital needed to develop the best models of artificial intelligence.
Musk's trial against Openai and Altman says that the founders initially turned to it to fund a non -profit purpose focused on AI's development to take advantage of humanity, but that it is now focused on making money.
