Elon Musk has offered to withdraw his $97.4 billion bid for OpenAI if the company abandons its plans to convert into a for-profit entity. Musk, who helped found OpenAI, wants the company to remain committed to its original mission of developing AI for public benefit. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has rejected Musk's offer, stating that the company is not for sale.
Musk has criticized Altman's leadership and has filed legal challenges to block OpenAI's for-profit conversion, alleging breach of contract and antitrust violations. The dispute highlights the ongoing tension between Musk and OpenAI regarding the company's direction and control.
