Odaily Planet Daily News: OpenAI's board of directors questioned the rationality of Musk and others' $97.4 billion bid for the company on Wednesday.
On Monday, a consortium of investors led by Musk proposed to acquire the assets of the nonprofit that controls the company, exacerbating a years-long dispute between Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
In a court filing on Wednesday, the company said Musk's acquisition offer contradicted its legal claims in the lawsuit against OpenAI last year. OpenAI argued in the filing that Musk's statement in the lawsuit that assets must remain in the nonprofit organization and cannot be transferred to another entity for the public interest is actually accusing Musk of hypocrisy. Previously in the lawsuit, Musk had said that OpenAI must be managed by a nonprofit organization, but now he has put forward the opposite view.
The OpenAI board of directors has not yet formally rejected the offer. (New York Times)
