Musk v Altman: What might really be behind failed bid for OpenAI
The rejected $100 billion offer by Elon Musk for OpenAI may not be a failure, but rather an attempt to complicate CEO Sam Altman's plans to transform the AI firm into a for-profit company, potentially hindering its growth trajectory. Experts suggest that Musk is trying to inflate the value of OpenAI's non-profit arm, making it more expensive for Altman to separate from its current structure. This move could ultimately benefit Musk's own AI companies, such as xAI and Grok.
