A consortium of investors led by Elon Musk recently offered $97.4 billion to buy the non-profit that controls OpenAI. Musk’s lawyer, Marc Toberoff, confirmed the news. He told Reuters that the offer was sent by email on Monday to OpenAI’s outside counsel at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. However, OpenAI has said that it has not yet received a formal bid from the Elon Musk-led consortium.

According to Toberoff, the bid was in the form of a “detailed four-page Letter of Intent” to purchase OpenAI’s assets. It was signed by Musk and other investors and addressed to the board. Nevertheless, the news of not having received the bid adds confusion over Musk’s attempt to take control of the artificial startup that has seemingly started the AI arms race.
“Whether Sam Altman chose to provide or withhold this from OpenAI’s other Board members is outside of our control”
Whether or not an official bid has been sent to OpenAI from Musk, one thing remains clear. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, is not interested in the offer. Altman told Reuters that the non-profit that controls OpenAI is not for sale. He also posted on X, counter-questioning if Musk wanted to sell Twitter for $9.74 billion instead.
“I have nothing to say. I mean, it’s ridiculous. The company is not for sale. It’s another one of his tactics to try to mess with us”.
Reuters also reported that Altman sent an internal message to OpenAI employees stating that the board, even though it had not officially reviewed the offer, would reject it based on the interest of OpenAI.
OpenAI is currently seeking a transition into a for-profit from a nonprofit entity. The company states that the transition is required to secure the capital needed for developing the best AI models. Musk, however, appears to have made the move to prevent this outcome. According to him, OpenAI’s transition to a for-profit entity would steer it away from its original mission of developing open-source, safety-focused AI that benefits humanity.
