Elon Musk offers almost $ 100 billion for chatt developers

According to a media report, an investor group listed by Tech billionaire Elon Musk has submitted an almost $ 100 billion offer to take control of the Chatgpt-Finder Openai.

The $ 97.4 billion (around 94.4 billion euros) was sent to the Openai board of directors on Monday, a Musk lawyer told Wall Street Journal.

Openai boss Sam Altman reacted mockingly. “No, thanks,” he wrote on Musk’s online platform X. But you would buy Musk Twitter for $ 9.74 billion if he wanted this. The tech billionaire paid around $ 44 billion for the short message service Twitter, the basis of X.

In addition, Openai did not comment. The Board of Directors should not be under pressure to deal with the offer.

Openai is in the process of changing the structure and converting itself into a profit -oriented company. Musk, once a co-founder of Openaai, is already fighting the start-up in court to prevent this. There he claims, among other things, that he was cheated on his departure.

The group of investors offers the nonprofit organization that previously controlled Openai. Openai was originally aimed at developing artificial intelligence for the benefit of mankind. Altman also founded a profit -based subsidiary in 2019 to collect money from investors such as Microsoft. Now Openai is to be geared towards profit as a company. Some former employees warn that this step can increase the risks of AI development.

According to media reports, Openaai is currently in discussions with investors such as Microsoft about the share of the profit -oriented company. Microsoft had put billions in Openai-and gave the start-up access to enormous computer resources. In return, Microsoft gave access to Openai’s AI technology and integrated them into its software products.

In addition to Musk’s own AI company Xai, several financial investors are participating in the offer of the “Wall Street Journal”. Musk’s lawyer told the newspaper that the group was ready to exceed every competing bid.

According to media reports, Openaai was recently in discussions with investors about a new financing round with a volume of up to $ 40 billion. Openaai strives for an overall rating of $ 300 billion, the “Wall Street Journal” wrote. The Japanese technology group Softbank wants to invest between $ 15 and $ 25 billion.

Softbank is also a partner of Openai in the Stargate project presented by Donald Trump for the development of AI data centers in the USA. According to the announcement, they want to invest up to $ 500 billion. Musk, who became a close familiar Trump, later claimed that Openaai and Softbank did not have that much money.

The Ki-Chatbot Chatgpt had triggered a hype about artificial intelligence two years ago-with expectations that range from almost unlimited possibilities in digital to fear of wiping human.
