Elon Musk has proposed a $97 billion bid to acquire the OpenAI nonprofit, a move seen as a tactical play rather than a genuine desire for ownership. This bid serves as a complex lever against OpenAI and complicates their transition to a for-profit model, especially as it establishes a valuation for the nonprofit that has been absent. Elon’s criticism suggests he feels swindled regarding OpenAI's shift in direction and its alleged anti-competitive practices. The situation highlights a deeper issue in OpenAI's communications, indicating a potential misstep in how they addressed Musk's criticism.
