The CEO Sam Altman is engaged in complex negotiations: the transformation of the company into a profit structure, a collection of capitals of 40 billion dollars with an evaluation of 340 billion and the start of an infrastructure project for the Ia of 500 billion. For Musk, Co-founder of Openai with Altman in 2015 and left the company in 2019, this offer represents his most daring challenge to that which he considers a deviation from the initial objectives of Openai, or to develop the IA safely and transparently, An accusation that currently sees him engaged in a legal cause against Openai itself.

“It has been time that Openi returns to be that positive force, open-source and focused on security that was once,” Musk said in a statement provided by his lawyer Marc Toberoff at Wall Street Journal. “We will assure us that this happens”.

Following the announcement, Altman replied on X: “No thanks, but if you want, we buy Twitter for 9.74 billion dollars”.
