Part 2/9:
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, wasted no time in rejecting Musk’s monumental offer. During an appearance at the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit, Altman asserted, “OpenAI is not for sale. The OpenAI mission is not for sale.” Musk has long criticized OpenAI's transition from a nonprofit to a for-profit model, arguing that the company strays from its foundational intention of developing AI for the public good. While Musk advocates for a return to open-source principles, the response from Altman has been firm: OpenAI’s current trajectory is vital for its continued innovation and impact.
