Sam Altman, chief executive of the Open Artificial Intelligence Research Center (OpenAI) in the United States, said that Musk's proposal to acquire OpenAI is "ridiculous". Altman said the company will not be sold, which is another strategy Musk is trying to disrupt them. On the 10th local time, a consortium led by Musk offered $97.40 billion to seek control of OpenAI. Musk's lawyer, Mark Toberov, said that the acquisition offer has been submitted to the OpenAI board.
