Tesla's founder Elon Mask and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's conflict are intensifying. Last Monday, a group of dollars, led by Elon Mask, sent a $ 1.8 billion proposal to buy the OpenAI, the main organization of the Chatzip. Altman has proposed to buy Social Media X, owned by the opposite mask, as soon as he rejected the proposal. He even attacked the mask as a 'unhappy man'.
“Perhaps his entire life is spent in inferiority,” said Altman, a growing war between the two billionaires of the technology world. I express sympathy for him. I don't think he is a happy man. '
In an interview with Bloomberg, Altman said, 'OpenAI is not being sold. OpenAI's mission is not being sold. '
He added, 'This mask's proposal is only trying to achieve its competitive benefits. I think he's just trying to stop us. He is obviously a competitor. '
“I want he to compete just by making a good product,” Altman added. But now it seems, there are many strategies, many cases, and various strange things happening here. '
Responding to the question of CNBC, the media said, “Not so,” the media said.
Responding to another question at the ongoing AI summit in Paris, Altman said, “I think a competitor is trying to strengthen his position (mask).”
Mask and Altman were established together in the 21st. After a long contest between the two of these two, the mask was withdrawn from the board of the OpenAI in the 21st. Since then he has been involved in a long -term conflict with the company.
Mask filed a case against the OpenAI last year in a California state court and later in the Central Court. He alleged that the OpenAI, which was set up with the non -profit goal, has moved away. The mask has invested about $ 1 million in the company for 20 years, said his lawyer Mark Tobarf.
It is not yet clear how seriously the OpenAI board will consider it despite the public reaction against Elon Mask's proposal. OpenAI Board Director Larry Summers said he did not receive any formal information on the mask's proposal.
The lawyer of the mask says that his proposal has multiple investors, including XAI, Valer Equity Partners, Baron Capital, Atroidis Management, Brother Capital, Joe Lonsdel's 3 VC and Media Executive Army Emanuel.
The proposal of $ 1.8 billion by Elon Mask is much lower than the latest market price of the OpenAI. In October 2021, the OpenAI raised the last fund, when its market value was $ 1 billion. However, OpenAI is currently worth $ 1 billion, which is much higher than the mask proposal.
Tesla's CEO and owner of technology company X is now a close associate of US President Donald Trump. He is leading the Department of Government Effectiveness, which is a new branch of the White House, and is in charge of compressing the federal bureaucracy widely. Experts believe OpenAI may face a lot of pressure due to this huge impact of the Mask in the Trump administration.
