OpenAI’s Board issued a statement rejecting Elon Musk’s $97 billion offer to buy OpenAI, even though Elon Musk has his own AI company called xAI. Musk has also sued OpenAI and Microsoft alleging various claims, including antitrust violations. This is the second lawsuit Musk has brought against OpenAI, a company that he formerly provided funding until a falling out.
“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.”
—Bret Taylor, Chair, on behalf of the OpenAI Board of Directors
