“But we will buy twitter for $9.74 billion if you want,” Altman added.
Elon Musk and a group of investors offered more than $97 billion to buy the nonprofit that controls the artificial intelligence giant OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, on Monday.
The bid, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, escalates a long-standing feud between Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The pair co-founded the company as a nonprofit in 2015, but Musk left several years later and has been engaged in a legal tussle over its control for several years.
Altman replied to the unsolicited offer on X, Musk’s social media site formally called Twitter, with a short rejection: “No thank you.”
“But we will buy Twitter for $9.74 billion if you want,” Altman added.
