Elon Musk takeover bid for OpenAI has been rejected. But it has also reignited the feud between the South African and OpenAi’s CEO . This time not with official documents but directly over X.
Shortly after the Wall Street Journal broke the story, Sam Altman reached out to his X users to indirectly send a message to Elon Musk. The CEO of the company that makes ChatGPT said. “No thanks, but as long as you wish, we may acquire Twitter for $9.74 billion,” seemingly to draw attention to the little value of the social network now known as X.
Elon Musk’s response was immediate , with a tweet published in direct response to Altman, who he called a “ scammer ”.
The reference is obviously to the lawsuit filed by Elon Musk against OpenAI. Which he accused of having violated the founding terms of the company. Which is on the path to becoming a for-profit company, contrary to what was done when it was founded. Elon musk has also filed another lawsuit against OpenAI . Accusing both Altman and Greg Brockman of misleading him.
That the relationship between the two is not idyllic is well known, and is also confirmed by Musk’s criticism of US President Donald Trump’s $500 billion Project Stargate. Immediately after the announcement, in fact, the South African stated that the companies involved “do not have the money” to complete it.https://youtu.be/-QyzbSuK14Y?si=bNRiRq94CuO7uwN-
