OpenAI board has unanimously decided to reject Elon Musk’s $97.4 billion takeover attempt for the ChatGPT maker. In a statement issued on X, Bret Taylor, OpenAI’s chair of Board of Directors reiterated CEO Sam Altman’s recent statements that \u2018OpenAI is not for sale\u2019 while adding that this is an attempt by Musk to \u2018disrupt his competition\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
“OpenAI is not for sale, and the board has unanimously rejected Mr. Musk’s latest attempt to disrupt his competition. Any potential reorganization of OpenAI will strengthen our nonprofit and its mission to ensure AGI benefits all of humanity.” Taylor was quoted by saying by OpenAI.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Notably, Musk, backed by a group of investors, had submitted a bid to OpenAI’s board of directors to buy out the non-profit arm of the \u00a0company for $97.4 billion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s time for OpenAI to return to the open-source, safety-focused force for good it once was\u201d Musk had said in a statement about OpenAI bid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
In an interaction with Bloomberg, Altman had wholeheartedly rejected Musk’s $97.4 billion bid, calling it an attempt to slow down OpenAI. Altman, who co-founded OpenAI with Musk, called the xAI boss \u2018insecure\u2019 and went on to say that he is not a happy person.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
“OpenAI is not for sale. The OpenAI mission is not for sale\u2026 I think he is probably just trying to slow us down. He obviously is a competitor\u2026 He’s working hard and and has raised a lot of money for xAI, and they’re trying to compete with us from a technological perspective, from, you know, getting the product into the market and I wish he would just compete by building a better product” Altman said in the interview.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cProbably his whole life is from a position of insecurity. I feel for the guy\u2026 I don’t think he’s like a happy person\u201d the OpenAI CEO added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
