Elon Musk and a coalition of investors have submitted a $97.4 billion offer to acquire OpenAI, advocating for a return to its open-source roots. Musk emphasized the importance of safety and content creator rights, showcasing a commitment to uphold the founding principles of OpenAI. In a tweet exchange, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman swiftly declined the offer, sarcastically proposing that OpenAI buy Twitter instead. This exchange highlights the ongoing tensions between Musk and Altman regarding the future direction of AI and their differing visions for OpenAI's role in society. No official response from OpenAI was provided to Business Insider.
At x.AI, we live by the values I was promised OpenAI would follow. We've made Grok open source, and we respect the rights of content creators.
It's time for OpenAI to return to the open-source, safety-focused force for good it once was. We will make sure that happens.
Sam Altman responded in a post on X, writing: "no thank you but we will buy Twitter for $9.74 billion if you want."
Representatives for OpenAI did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
