Elon Musk just offered to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion

I will be shocked if he uses his own money for this. He just got a ton of backdoors into the treasury department, remember? That was just last week.

Coma did you say?

It'll work this time. He just has to be even shittier about it. /s

I'd take $5M of government funding and make similar progress. Yo DOGE, call me.

Saudis were happy to bankroll it to kill the main organisation platform behind the Arab Spring uprisings

Because if you believe it's worth $97B you don't offer to overpay by $3B...
-
At least part of the money helps invested in things like Twitter etc he borrowed from other companies he owns that are overvalued (Tesla).

Buy a company mostly with other people's money (he paid ~15B of the 44B offer) lose a lot, 70% or more but use it to win an election and gain 200B in profit.
Musk is a salesman and he's good at getting investors to get behind his crap. He's never produced actual value but that doesn't matter to stock values apparently.

Unfortunately he has a gaggle of hitler youth in tow doing his bidding for him
