Elon Musk-Led Group Offers $97.4 Billion for Control of OpenAI, According to WSJ

Elon Musk is spearheading a consortium of investors in a bid worth $97.4 billion to acquire control of OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company behind ChatGPT. Musk aims for OpenAI to revert to its original mission of being a safety-oriented entity for societal benefit. In the past, Musk has openly criticized Sam Altman and even filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, condemning its evolution into a 'proprietary offshoot' of tech giant Microsoft. Additionally, OpenAI is in the process of seeking additional funding amounting to $40 billion, potentially valuing the company at $340 billion.
