The Board of Directors of OpenAI formally rejected this Friday the offer of Elon Musk and a group of investors to buy the non -profit matrix controlled by the artificial intelligence firm (AI) for 97.4 billion dollars.
On Monday, Musk and investors made that surprise offer, supposedly to avoid OpenAi’s conversion into a profit company, to which his CEO Sam Altman replied on the social network X with a laconic “no, thank you.”
Openai’s lawyer, William Savitt, sent a letter to Musk’s lawyer on Friday, Marc Uberoff, in which he explained that the Board of Directors has studied the proposal and determined that “it is not at all about an offer”, collects the portal CNBC.
The “proposal, even as presented in principle, does not represent the best interests for the Oai (OpenAI) mission and is rejected,” says the letter, which reports a “unanimous” decision of the Board.
