ChatGPT boss rejects Elon Musk-led investors' $97bn bid | BBC News

Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI - the maker of ChatGPT - has rebuffed a $97.4bn (£78.4bn) take over bid from a consortium of investors led by Elon Musk. Musk's attorney, Marc Toberoff, confirmed he submitted the bid for all OpenAI's assets to its board on Monday. The offer is the latest twist in a longstanding battle between Musk, the world's richest person and right-hand man to US President Donald Trump, and Open AI chief executive Sam Altman over the future of the start-up at the centre of the AI boom. In response to the bid, Altman posted on Musk's social media platform X, "no thank you but we will buy twitter for $9.74 billion if you want".
