Elon Musk-led group makes $97.4 billion bid for OpenAI, CEO refuses and offers to "buy Twitter for $9.74 billion"

[ScottSoapbox]

This is the same trick Musk tried to pull when he was butthurt about all the short-sellers trying to make money off Tesla stock. So he made up some nonsense about taking Tesla private and claimed Saudi Arabia was going to buy out Tesla. This offer for OpenAI was about as real as his "funding secured" tweet about Tesla. It didn't work then (and cost him $20 million in fines and his CEO position at Tesla) and it won't work now.

It would be relatively easy for him to find investors willing to buy OpenAI for that amount. Note that OpenAI didn't jump at the offer because they are convincing their investors they are worth far more. But that offer still creates a data point of what they are worth that is difficult to dispute while also turning down the offer (obviously if OpenAI sold Musk would win even more).

Sorry this obviously saddens you, but yes Musk wins this round. However, it is ultimately just a headache for OpenAI not a crushing blow by any means. Just billionaires play a move of chess.

Except that Biden wasn’t left wing… he was right wing… Trump is just far right wing…

And wow… a regime claiming the previous one was corrupt?!? Stop the presses!!

When the next regime takes power, you’ll hear about how corrupt his regime was I’m sure…

nobody is going to take your seriously...

Everyone in the World knows that Joe "Open Borders" Biden was thee most Liberal, left-wing nut job this Country has ever had. His whole Term & Cabinet was littered with DEi/WOKEness & Globalist (Davos) garbage.

But I am sure you know all of this^ and know even Obama himself, mentioned how left Joe governed.


Lastly,
Uncovering fraud from every Department funneled to left-wing causes and NGOs is not about regimes dude... it about UNELECTED people stuck in our government secretly pulling the purse strings Through all these Government Contracts, NO MATTER who was in office.
ie: Deep State bureaucracy.

These people are all soon getting fired, for fraud & abuse. They can't pass audits on any of this. The American People didnt even know these life-long Bureaucrats go were secretly going against American's Sovereignty and are against the will of We the people...!

It's all ovr the news tonight.

Everyone knows no such thing… while he was a pretty bad president, he was NOT left wing when it came to foreign policy, policing or border security…

But I am sure you know all of this^ and know even Obama himself, mentioned how left Joe governed.

Fraud is something every regime from every country is guilty of in some way or another… Trump’s previous regime was not immune to this - nor was Obama’s, Bush’s, Clinton’s or Reagan’s…

Yes, “the people” are angry - they’ve been expertly incited by probably the best manipulator since Goebbels….

You can draw many similarities between the rise of nazi germany and trump by the way… disguising right wing as left was a classic move by Hitler… National Socialism was (and sometimes still is) misrepresented as left wing policy…

Fake AI and a terrible platform.

Hahahahah as long as they purchase Broadcom network fabric, hyperscale switches, transceivers and racks of load balancing gear im all for this BS land grab that will not result in anything useful. Keep driving my stock up you *****s.

make me MORE immune to all the trump/elon stupidity like 25% tarrifs on steel and aluminum needed by :: boeing, gm ,ford, chrysler, us-honda, us-toytota, dodge, ram, jeep, tesla, construction, ship-yards, nasa, Department of defense, home depot, lowes, power companies, food processing plants for cans for food and soda, pencils, pens, steel case bullets, aluminum case bullets, armored cars, armored toop carriers, airforce, darpa ... so so so so many more ...

Alllllll the while .. please, please drive inflation to 15-20% and nationwide unemployment to 15+%

let
it
burn

Maybe you should be aware that half the value of the S&P 500 is just tech stocks that focus on AI. We ARE in a bubble and when it crashes, you are going to lose A LOT of money the likes of which have never been seen before.

I have made returns on tech stocks in the last 5 years that I haven't expected to make in the next 30 years. I'm out if the growth and tech stocks market for awhile. When we see a market correction of of 60,70, 80%, the 20% correction from deepseek will be nothing.

You simply are ignorant of American Politics.

Joe Biden is/was a leftist President. His Foreign Policies were extremely far left and the programs he supported were all left wing. There is no arguing this. That is why Trump is removing all the WOKE/DEI stuff Biden did.

Did u not listen to President Trump's vid speech at DAVOS this year..?



You are simply not capable of understanding what is going on in America.

The REGIME that was running the Country was unelected Bureaucrats, hidden within the Government, not Politicians who are elected by "We the People". Trump found that out the 1st time when they (deep state) went after him, 2nd time, He is now dismantling all these bad actors and their secret money grift & fake news.

The fraud is so bad, that every day Liberals politicians who lived off those grifts are complaining... as "We the People" just laugh at these crying Democrats exposing themselves and grift. All these liberal magazines & websites will fold... thankfully.


Also, you do know that the Liberal Left in America, is different than EU's political left & right. Right Wing in America means conservative and follows law & order and support the US Constitution, while Liberals want to remove people's rights (force mandates) and use fascism & censorship to control people.

American People destroyed those liberal fascist with a massive mandate and now exposing those dirty Globalist in EU like Ursula, Starmer etc.. whom now will fold, under transparency and the People's of those Countries finding out what EU leaders are trying to do with Borders, etc.


If you do not know any of this, it's because you live behind a wall and not free to access daily news. How could ANYONE not have listened to President's Trump speech at Davos this year..? It was more for Europe, than for Americans.

So if Trump said it, it must be true... got ya!

You are simply not capable of understanding what is going on in America.

Yeah... well, it's hard to understand what YOU are saying, that's for sure... As for America, it's fairly obvious...

The REGIME that was running the Country was unelected Bureaucrats, hidden within the Government, not Politicians who are elected by "We the People". Trump found that out the 1st time when they (deep state) went after him, 2nd time, He is now dismantling all these bad actors and their secret money grift & fake news.

You do now that Biden's regime was just for 4 years... yet this WOKE/DEI stuff predates both his AND Trump's first regime...

The fraud is so bad, that every day Liberals politicians who lived off those grifts are complaining... as "We the People" just laugh at these crying Democrats exposing themselves and grift. All these liberal magazines & websites will fold... thankfully.

Yeah, I'd like to see proof that the corruption under Biden's "regime" was any worse than the corruption under any of the previous regimes...

Also, you do know that the Liberal Left in America, is different than EU's political left & right. Right Wing in America means conservative and follows law & order and support the US Constitution, while Liberals want to remove people's rights (force mandates) and use fascism & censorship to control people.

Left Wing and Right Wing are not dependant on any one nation... they are ideologies...

Biden's healthcare policy - the opposition to universal healthcare is right wing... his action against the railroad workers' union would also be considered right wing... his foreign policy decisions including the largest military budgets in US history are right wing...

Again, your country doesn't actually have a "left wing"... you have right wing and MORE right wing...

And you kind of show your own ignorance by calling left-wing stuff "fascist"... you realize that fascism is the definition of extreme "right-wing" politics, right? Extreme left-wing is COMMUNIST...

Anyways, I can't believe I bothered to take your posts seriously as you're also the person who insists that AMD will be crushing Nvidia shortly in the high end GPU department...

So you do not know or follow US politics and only regurgitate fake news. After already being shown facts & truths. (Did u watch Elon in Oval office answering question for 40 minutes last night?)

Why..? Why are you denying it(?), even the Liberal left-wing Democrats Leaders complaining at the steps of USAID, aren't even DENYING the waste, fraud & abuse of these payments... they are just making noise at Elon for exposing their grift.

Cry harder..



Note:
It is more than Obvious that you truly do not understand United States Politics and Governance (States & Federal) and try to apply European Governance and political ideologies to America. No, right-wing means conservatives and left wing means liberal (who interpret our laws liberally and use our laws liberally), instead of Conservatively and by the laws and books.

We have the US Constitution and are a Republic with Governors. Those who oppose the Constitution and try to take away Citizen's rights, are thee fascists. Unlike many other Countries where their form of Government is oppressive (ie European Union).

Sam Altman is a waste of space(between his ears).

 

[toooooot]

Everyone is missing the point of this.

For OpenAI to reorganize as for-profit, they have to buy the non-profit's assets at fair market value which is basically an arbitrary number OpenAI can create unless a potential buyer is creating a price in the market.

Musk is merely making his competition waste VC cash.

If that is true, it is a very important point in this story.

You haven’t provided ANY evidence for any of your nonsense… and watching Elon or Trump on the news is NOT evidence… I’ve seen Biden on the news too - does that count as evidence then?

No one’s denying or crying… I’m stating that corruption is endemic to US “democracy” and has been present since forever… it was first brought to the public eye during the Nixon administration, but almost certainly existed long before… show some evidence that it was so much worse during the Biden era - and saying “cause Trump says so” isn’t evidence.

I’m Canadian… but I’m a history major and have a fairly extensive background in US History - which apparently you don’t .
And right-wing DOES mean conservative - which is what both Democrats AND Republicans are… maybe look it up?

You are simply denying the truth and crying about the facts.

You can't handle that these liberal Fascists were caught are now crumbling. Trudeau is gone, bcz of his fascists maneuvers during covid and lock-downs & with restricting movement and truckers and liberties.


And NO,
American Republicans are Conservative Party in America, they have ALWAYS lobbied for smaller/less Government... while Democrats Party are Liberals who want big Government and for it to control everything and be a part of everyone's lives.

You truly do NOT understand right-wing vs Left wing... bcz u do not understand the Constitution. You don't have rights as a Canadian Citizen, nor documents protecting your rights... so no document to protect and defend against fascists & communists who want to take those away.

As a Canadian... YOU have to fight for rights, FROM your government. American's Rights are given to us by GOD and the Government can not infringe on those rights, and doing so is fascist.

Give some evidence please… you saying something is a fact doesn’t make it so.

Liberal fascists? You do realize that’s an oxymoron right, right? Please look up the term “fascist” and get back to me…

And NO,
American Republicans are Conservative Party in America, they have ALWAYS lobbied for smaller/less Government... while Democrats Party are Liberals who want big Government and for it to control everything and be a part of everyone's lives.

No, they haven’t… in fact, it was the Democrats who originally were the more “conservative” party once upon a time… they did a flip-flop with the Republican Party in the 60s under Lyndon Johnson…
Dude… you accuse me of knowing nothing about US history - but maybe learn some of your own?

You truly do NOT understand right-wing vs Left wing... bcz u do not understand the Constitution. You don't have rights as a Canadian Citizen, nor documents protecting your rights... so no document to protect and defend against fascists & communists who want to take those away.

I seem to comprehend it a heck of a lot better than you… it’s YOUR leader who is eroding your rights - not mine…

As a Canadian... YOU have to fight for rights, FROM your government. American's Rights are given to us by GOD and the Government can not infringe on those rights, and doing so is fascist.

EVERYONE has to fight for their rights… the cost of freedom is eternal vigilance…. God is all well and good - but he doesn’t pay taxes…
