Elon Musk just offered to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion

I mean, yeah. That was the entire point of him buying it: to control one of the biggest social media networks ever, and to use that to push and pull the public discourse however he wanted, in the interest of being a kingmaker. And it fucking worked.
-
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

Altman responded on twitter with
no thank you but we will buy twitter for $9.74 billion if you want
That's way less than Musk paid but maybe still high.

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).

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