“Swindler.” Elon Musk reportedly led a bid to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion, Sam Altman offers a withering response.



Elon Musk has reportedly tried to buy OpenAI, according to a new report. And just as quickly as that report emerged, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has seemingly already rejected the bid.

Elon Musk and Sam Altman of OpenAI have a bit of an “open” rivalry. Musk is currently in the process of suing OpenAI for straying from its non-profit research-oriented roots, as Altman in partnership with Microsoft has gradually taken the company in a more profit-first direction. As such, OpenAI is separated into two entities, one continuing to operate as a non-profit, while its for-profit arm is on the hook to the tune of billions in partnerships with Microsoft and other investors. Indeed, the last funding round OpenAI valued the company at roughly $157 billion.
