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
i think this is old spice admitting that xAI is total bullshit and he's giving up on making his own.
I thought this was because he’s still pissy they cut him out, but I guess his reasons can be multifaceted
Hahah he really hates Altman's guts. Good. Love to see those two expend their energy on each other rather than on fucking all of us.
Unfortunately, they can multitask
Musk isnt very good at that. He seems to Godzilla's his way through one project at a time, while interns clean up behind him.
Still slows down some of their other goals. Attention and resources aren't infinite. The more they wear themselves thin on things that don't matter / have less bad outcomes, the better
Unfortunately they can multitask
You guys both posted it within a few seconds of each other judging by my app updating the time. Impressive.

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.
Lmao "Twitter"
Ah so he's again going to pay twice the amount of what it's worth to then run of off a cliff and make it worth 20% of it's real value within a years time?
Seriously, why do people still believe anything this scammer says?
Where is the "hide Musk/DOGE/Trump related posts" button ?
EDIT : Found it ! (Damn, Lemmy is awesome 😊)
But remember, all of his wealth is only potential, not realized! He ackshually can't afford to make the world a better place!
The best and most affordable way for Elon Musk to "make the world a better place" would be to drop dead.
I guess grok isn’t doing so well.
As long as he pays for it, and not the US taxpayer....
How the fuck would we know? He has access to pretty much everything and has shown absolute contempt for the other branches that can stop him. He could drain social security, and no one would be the wiser till payments stopped.
Interesting that he's making this offer now, isn't it. Almost like he's recently got access to a large sum of money.
Nah, he'll get foreign investors to help him and be further owned by foreign governments like he did for X.
He can afford to pay twice the price of Twitter because he's using government money. Remember he barely swung the 44 billion for Twitter. Now he's buying something for more than double that? After putting code into the Treasury department computers to hide transactions?
Lmao.
Couldn't even pay for twitter himself, that broke ass
He bought Twitter for 44 billion... and the US presidency for 290 million.
That is the single most dystopian shit I have ever heard. The idea that people and countries are so dirt cheap and companies are orders of magnitude more valuable is a thing that should damn their souls to hell.
You how bad this is affecting me? I've been an atheist and anti-death penality most of my life... Musk has for the past while made me think that the death penalty needs to be applied to people like him (and Israeli war criminals) and not to common crooks and common murderers. He is even making me want a hell to exist so people like him can burn in it.
YES!
Finally a way to destroy the AI hype.
Maybe the man is good for something besides wasting oxygen after all.
“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.
even if openai are assholes, chatgpt is still useful for things as long as you dont put too much trust in it. If that fucker buys it they will turn it into racist shitspewing garbage. Without it, regular people will have no decent or easy way to utilize ai and this new tech will benefit only the rich who will use it to oppress us even worse.
Stinky isnt an idiot, i wish he was. Anything he buys he can and will use to cause harm to us. So this would be bad for us all.
How to become a millionaire: Start with 97.4 Billion.
Would be funny to watch this go through and see how quickly he changes his mind on Open AI’s business model.

He'd be allowed to back out on this one unlike Twitter. He'd use his power with trump to prevent the SEC from forcing the sale to go through like the SEC did with Twitter.
This kind of thing is why it's short-sighted even for the other tech guys to cozy up to Trump. There's no room for anyone other than Musk and he is just going to use his leverage with Trump to screw over the other billionaires as well.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
