Initially founded as a nonprofit in 2015 with Musk among its co-founders, OpenAI has transitioned into a for-profit organization—a move that Musk strongly opposes.

Musk’s proposition aims to return OpenAI to its original philanthropic purpose, focusing on open-source values and safety. Despite this, Altman swiftly rejected the offer on X (formerly Twitter), playfully suggesting they might want to acquire Twitter for $9.74 billion, poking fun at Twitter’s declining value since Musk’s $44 billion purchase in 2022.

The acquisition attempt includes a group of investors such as Valor Equity Partners and Vy Capital, along with Musk’s AI venture xAI. If the deal goes through, it could lead to a merger of xAI and OpenAI under new management.

Despite Altman’s rejection, OpenAI’s future remains uncertain, as its board might still entertain other offers or negotiations. This ongoing dispute underscores the significant tensions within the AI sector, with competitors like Google DeepMind and Amazon-backed Anthropic vying for supremacy.
