A group of investors led by Elon Musk has made a bid of 97.4 billion dollars (94.4 billion euros) to purchase the not -focused institutions that are now the owner of OpenAI, the company behind Chatgpt. That reported The Wall Street Journal Monday.
According to the American business newspaper, the bid of Musk and Co complains the plan of CEO Sam Altman to transform OpenAi into a profit -oriented company. The plans of Altman then also to raise 500 billion dollars in investments together with the Japanese investor Softbank (Project-Stargate) for further development of AI can sometimes become more difficult, according to WSJ. Altman has already responded to the bid on social media: ‘No, thank you’, he put, among other things, on X. He immediately offered that he wanted to buy X from Musk For $ 9.74 billion.
Altman and Musk have been in conflict with each other for some time about what exactly OpenAi should be. The two were both involved in the establishment of the company that developed the successful language robot Chatgpt. Musk, who withdrew after its foundation, went into battle with Altman a year ago, because he says he finds that OpenAi “should do good for humanity”, must reveal his language models and not become purely commercial, as Altman wants.
Altman has constantly made a counter that Musk only says that, because he himself could not get control of OpenAI-he later founded AI company Xai, which simply strives for winning. The bid of Musk, which would have been officially handed over by his lawyer to the board of the foundations behind OpenAi, would include that OpenAi must merge with Xai.
