The Elon Musk Vs Sam Altman feud has taken another dramatic turn, with Musk making a $97 billion offer to acquire OpenAI. However, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman outright rejected the proposal, reportedly responding with a sarcastic counteroffer—suggesting that OpenAI could buy Musk’s social media platform, X, for just $9 billion. The drama has added to the ongoing tension between the two tech giants, highlighting their contrasting visions for the future of artificial intelligence.
Elon Musk Vs Sam Altman: The Battle Over OpenAI’s Future
Elon Musk, who was one of OpenAI’s co-founders, has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with the company’s shift toward a more commercialized model. His $97 billion offer aimed to regain control of OpenAI and restore its nonprofit status. According to reports, Musk’s legal team argued that if OpenAI intended to remain a for-profit entity, it should fairly compensate its original nonprofit mission. However, Altman’s quick rejection of the offer signaled his confidence in OpenAI’s direction and independence from Musk’s influence.
Altman’s Sarcastic Response Adds Fuel to the Feud
Sam Altman’s reply to Musk’s offer was not just a rejection but a playful jab. Posting on X, he mockingly suggested that OpenAI could buy the platform from Musk for $9 billion, a fraction of the $44 billion Musk spent acquiring Twitter in 2022. This response not only reignited debates over Musk’s handling of X but also highlighted the growing rivalry between the two tech moguls. With lawsuits, power struggles, and massive financial stakes involved, the Elon Musk Vs Sam Altman saga continues to shape the future of AI and social media.
