The tension between Elon Musk and the artificial intelligence company OpenAI is escalating. OpenAI has denied official acquisition claims. The dispute between Sam Altman and Musk has spilled over to social media. Following the recent developments, it is speculated that the cold winds among famous names in the world of technology will intensify.

The offer made by the consortium led by Elon Musk to acquire OpenAI has escalated tension in the world of artificial intelligence. OpenAI stated that no official steps have been taken regarding the mentioned offer. While Musk’s lawyer explained that the offer was sent to a company that provided consultancy services to the company, OpenAI rejected this claim. The disagreement between the parties regarding the official offer persists. AN INFURIATING RESPONSE BY ELON MUSK The response given by CEO Sam Altman to the $97.4 billion offer shook the internet. Sam Altman, in a post from Musk’s social media firm X account, used the words “No, thank you. But if you want, we can buy Twitter for 9.74 billion dollars.”

THEY HAD ESTABLISHED IT TOGETHER

Elon Musk had co-founded OpenAI with Sam Altman in 2015. However, before the company reached its current value, Musk, who left the project, launched his own artificial intelligence initiative xAI as a rival to OpenAI in 2023. THE TENSION IS INCREASING It is thought that Altman’s humorous response and the use of the former name for the X platform, Twitter, will further increase the cold winds between the two. Recently, Musk criticized the OpenAI-led initiative announced by Trump at the White House for 500 billion dollars.

A KEY FIGURE AT THE WHITE HOUSE Tesla’s CEO, one of Donald Trump’s biggest supporters, provided more than 250 million dollars in support for the President’s re-election efforts. Elon Musk is currently heading the newly established Department of Government Efficiency, which aims to significantly reduce federal bureaucracy.
