Elon Musk’s USD 97 billion offer for OpenAI, rejected by Sam Altman
India TV NewsTech billionaire Elon Musk has once again made headlines by offering USD 97 billion to buy OpenAI, the AI company he co-founded but later sued. However, CEO Sam Altman swiftly rejected the proposal, reportedly responding with a firm “No, thank you.” In a cheeky rebuttal, Altman took to Musk’s platform, X, and quipped, "No thanks, but we’d be willing to buy Twitter for $9.74 billion if you’re interested." Musk’s lawyer, Marc Toberoff, stated, "If Sam Altman and the current board want OpenAI to be fully for-profit, it’s only fair that the charity is compensated for losing control of such groundbreaking technology."

While OpenAI continues to advance its AI research under Sam Altman’s leadership, Musk remains determined to challenge its direction- whether through legal action, public criticism, or takeover attempts.
