Elon Musk is leading a group of investors who have offered to buy OpenAI, ChatGPT's parent company, for $97.4 billion. Musk has long clashed with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and has filed a series of lawsuits against the company and Altman, alleging that the artificial intelligence company and its executives have falsely represented OpenAI as a philanthropic organization.
Musk's investment, according to the Wall Street Journal, could give Musk majority control of the company, which is a rival to his artificial intelligence company X.AI.
“If Sam Altman and the current Board of Directors of OpenAI, Inc. intend to become a fully for-profit corporation, it is essential that the charity be fairly compensated for what its leaders are taking away from it: control over the most transformative technology of our time,” Marc Toberoff, an attorney representing the investors, said in a statement. “It is time for OpenAI to focus on safety and the common good. We will make sure that happens.”
In response, Altman said in a post on X, “no, thanks, but we’ll buy Twitter for $9.74 billion if you want.”
