Elon Musk just offered to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion
-
It isn’t racist enough, so he has to take over and train it on nazi propaganda.
Shortly after the news was announced, Altman posted on X: “no thank you but we will buy twitter for $9.74 billion if you want.”
If only their slapfight meant something good for the world. At least, I don't see everything collected in Musk's hands.

well...I guess I can use chatGPT to walk me through setting one up?! I can use a double 4090 RTX config instead of heating too.
(these are really fucked up times)Look here: https://ollama.com/

I thought he only barely pulled off the Twitter deal at $40B, now he's going 2x+x that much?
Gotta ride that debt wave - what else is there to do in life? ("Helping people" is somehow not an option, nor is simply leaving well enough alone, we apparently "need" to have his face and name and one arm raised in nearly every conversation taking place on planet earth)

OK, what's the fediverse alternative for ChatGPT?
SpeakIt. It's like SheepIt but for powering language models.

Lmao "Twitter"

“It’s time for OpenAI to return to the open-source, safety-focused force for good it once was,” Musk said in a statement provided by his lawyer Marc Toberoff to The Wall Street Journal. “We will make sure that happens.”
I'll believe that when I see it.

not even one-third of the valuation openai thinks they're worth (up to 340b). and still below what investors thought in 2022 (157b). src
Lol is that even a thing? xAI? I've never heard of it, and I self host AI's, and explore them often.

How stupid is this conspiracy theory:
If it were a threat, like “this is what you’re gonna be worth if you don’t accept, anyway” depending on how power drunk he was feeling when hitting Tweet

Elon’s $97.4B hostile takeover bid for OpenAI is less about “safety” and more about a billionaire’s corporate tantrum. The offer reeks of desperation—a laughable lowball for a company valued at $340B, dressed as altruism.
Altman’s clapback—“buy Twitter for $9.74B”—is the perfect middle finger to Musk’s flailing empire. Remember when X became a $44B dumpster fire? Now he wants to drag OpenAI into his orbit of mismanaged toys.
This feud isn’t about AI ethics—it’s two tech oligarchs weaponizing legal battles and PR stunts. Musk’s “open-source” crusade is safety theater while his own xAI hoards code. The only winner here? Lawyers billing hourly as the world burns.

Unfortunately, they can multitask
There is still a finite amount of time per day. Any amount of time spent on this is less they have available for everything else.

and sadly, the amount of people who use chatgpt to try and get factual information, is quite high... which makes this even more terrifying. It's about systematically gaining control of communication and information.
There's tons of alternatives out there now that are as good or better.
If he gets it then clearly it will be the Confederate States ChatGPT.

Cage fight is no option anymore?
Well, maybe it is better this way. Let them ruin each other, and their companies. The world will be a better place then.

"NaziAI" has a real ring to it.
AI did nazi that coming.

Genius mastermind shadow president plan:
- Buy company A for shit ton of money
- Ruin company A so it is worth 80% less
- Still have shit ton of money
- Repeat with company B
Ruin company A so it is worth 80% less
Ruin country USA so it is worth 80% less.

lol. Wasn’t grok built specifically without safety in mind?

i think this is old spice admitting that xAI is total bullshit
Well, to be 100% fair, it's all total bullshit.
I use a 16b reduction of deepseek-r1 on my pc at home and it's definitely not total bullshit. It's 10gb of local model that can solve mathematics and physics problems for you or program in python or bash. It doesn't hallucinate (or I haven't been able to elicit it), it's aware of the extents of its knowledge. It works incredibly fast on an old ryzen 1600 with 6600xt. Having an open source reasoning AI that takes 10gb of SSD and about 13 gb of ram is so weird that the only thing weirder is seeing smart people dismiss it as bullshit out of hand.

To be clear (and as far as I understand), it’s not a hostile takeover bid because it cannot be: OpenAI is not a public company and thus doesn’t have a fiduciary duty to thousands to millions of shareholders but instead to a handful of big investors who can decide for themselves whether they want that Elon’s money or not. So this isn’t similar to what Twitter had been through but more like Elon teasing Altman I believe.
