On Friday, Openai refused a $ 97.4 billion acquisition of a consortium led by Elon Musk, noting that the company is not for sale.
The Board of Directors rejected any future offer that is not real, reaffirming its non -profit mission.
Musk’s offer was the latest in its efforts to challenge Openai to a profitable structure. The billionaire participated in establishing the company with CEO Sam Altman, but he later left and opposed its plans to secure the capital.
“Openai was not for sale, and the Board of Directors unanimously rejected Mr. Musk’s last attempt to disrupt his rival.”
MUSK lawyer, Mark Tobrov, said that Openai was controlling his arm for sale, claiming that this step would benefit some members of the Board of Directors instead of the declared purpose.
In December, Openai has announced plans to establish a public benefits company to collect more capital and remove restrictions from its non -profit condition. On Monday, Altman rejected the show with a post on X, prompting Musk to respond to “Swindler”. On Tuesday, I told Altman Axios that Openai was not for sale.
The Musk Legal Team said in the court file on Wednesday that the consortium-which includes the AI Venture Xai-will withdraw its offer if Openai abandoned its move to profit. Openai’s legal representatives faced this, saying that the conditions imposed by the Musk group showed that the show was not real.
Among the other investors in Konsortium partners in Valor Insaf, Baron Capital, and Hollywood CEO Arie Emmanuel.
Elon Musk, the Medal of Taman, has differed for years, especially since Openai has provided its profit arm in 2019 and raised billions of dollars in financing.
Musk Openai was accused of moving away from its original purpose and sued altman, Openai, and its largest supporter, Microsoft last year to violate the contract. In November, he sought a judicial order to prevent Openai’s transfer to a profitable structure.
