That bid is said to be a huge amount of $97.4 billion United States dollars but Sam Altman responded in a classic way
The OpenAI CEO rejected the bid immediately and rather offered Elon Musk an almost reversed figure to purchase his X app.
Sam Altman in an X post said No to Elon Musk and a group of team that submitted the bid for OpenAI purchase.
He jokingly offered to pay Elon Musk a 9.74 billion price to purchase his app, X as a counter offer for his OpenAI bid
“No thank you, but we will buy Twitter for $9.74 billion if you want.” He wrote in his X post
Meanwhile reports we’ve gathered so far indicates OpenAI is also looking at a $340B valuation, which will make it one of the most valuable private firms in the world.
