It is not for Musk to dictate terms, ultimately, unless the majority of shareholders vote to accept the offer or the board negotiates a deal, the company is not forced to sell.
I think you are talking a much different ball game. Twitter was a platform that was starting to go stagnant (still is) which put people in a very different position. Open AI is worth way more than the bid and it’s just the beginning. Their growth potential is unlimited at the moment. Not the same.
Twitter also was a publicly traded company and was fiscally responsible to its shareholders essentially to approve a deal that greatly over valued the company for the financial gain of said share holders. OpenAI does not have the same responsibility
"Open AI is worth way more than the bid" 🤔... we've already seen moderately successful efforts to replicate independently. There are two essential ingredients: other peoples IP to scrape off the internet for training, and a bunch of software engineers specializing in GPU assisted learning.
Replicate is a kind word for clone. DeepSeek is a distilled clone of OpenAI's data. It is indeed super easy, barely an inconvenience to match something you're making a carbon copy of. I agree with the sentiment OpenAI's widespread data hoarding is as big a problem.
The very idea of nonprofit or public service organizations offends Musk. They are the epitome of ‘waste’ because their purpose is not to enrich someone. They must be made to go away!
Good. It should remain vigilant in its stance as a non-profit. Elan doesn't gaf about Americans, he uses his massive insane amount of wealth to bail out people like Trump to settle their lawsuits instead of helping Americans. 'Helping' through 'DOGE' by gutting American's resources = Pathetic.
Silly cheap creep who cheats in video games, stalks Taylor Swift and AOC.. this asshole got some high ideals.. non-profit my ass.
If he hates profit shall we all go communist then?
Really is just a little, selfish spoiled brat Afrikaner, isn't he? Why he's wielding so much power....? Not sure. Probably just the $$$$$.
He sure doesn't behave like a "genius"...
DOGE FTX/Bankman-Fried style "backdoor" aft. "China" Treasury hack in Dec. 24 "peking-around" Yellen's drawers. Connect dots: #ElonMusk is running sanctions $ recovery op for big client list of bad doggy human rights violators BRIICS, etc incld. narco kingpins.
He had to borrow the money to pay 4 billion for Twitter. He can't back up a 100 billion dollar cash bid for anything, let alone a chatbot plagiarism machine that isn't EVER going to be worth that much.
Let’s get to the heart of the matter:
Musk tries to cut funds to USAID which primarily aids African people. Is he worried about population collapse or is he really only worried about White people population collapse? Or is he only focused on self and high IQ people? https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/30/health/elon-musk-population-collapse-wellness/index.html
The message America and the West have sent to Putin is that we are frightened of you.
He could have been stopped before he crossed the border into Ukraine, but no.
He could have been beaten but we tied one arm behind Ukraine’s back.
Now the Appeaser in Chief is sucking up to Putin.
Seems like Elon is ready to put his money where his vision is. If OpenAI wants to keep that nonprofit status, they might need to find a new way to fund their ambitious goals—or brace for the billionaire's game of hardball.
Wow Musk, you are such an insecure loser 😅 they rejected it already and offered to buy your racist-, homophobic-, antisemitic-, hatespeach spreading plattform instead. Hope you accept👍
Who who be stupid enough to loan him that? He's ruined X to the point that it's a money sink. This is just another one of his emo publicity stunts. He missed the boat on OpenAI & is faaaar behind in the AI space so he's lashing out trying to slow them down so his slow self can maybe try to catch up.
OpenAI has made all communication with Musk available to the public.
A great insight :)
I hope they keep moving forward on their own. No, they don't have the funds to make AGI work, yet. What they do have is massive amounts of leverage. A mere threat to shut it down will have money pouring in.
Help me understand how his 'bid' carries any weight if the owners don't want to sell? Is he so mentally unstable that he can't takke "No" for an answer?😧
So Elon thinks that only he should be able to make money on things? How about we just withdraw Elon. When MAGA is your only customer then maybe you'll have bigger things to worry about. Well MAGA and the government that you bought.
In other words, Musk learn Sam Altman's claim that OpenAI is committed to non-profit is legally binding, even if Musk bought it. Aw, poor billionaire tantrum.
Although Sam Altman put forward the goal of non-profit, the final actions are profit-oriented, and even make people feel that he does not take these promises seriously
From a certain perspective, it is questionable whether Musk really understands the spirit of non-profit organizations and whether he is driven by money and interests
What all this DOGE and his prior behaviours tell you a certainty about his companies and products. They lack internal controls and control audits. He doesn't see the value in them. He doesn't respect regulators who are looking for management to have sound controls and
Sounds like he's ready to put his money where his mouth is! It’ll be interesting to see how the nonprofit landscape shifts with these kinds of stakes. What do you think – is a for-profit model the future for AI?

Its not for sale.
Americans really dont understand that do they?
But this is like explaining a joke, even though its only 50% a joke, maybe even 40.
Trump has made sure of that.
The weapons race will begin as a result.
Businesses will migrate to other countries.
Trump has done what Putin and the USSR/CCP couldn't.

The Douche title fits him oh so well.
Fuck him with a rhino's horn.
