Part 2/11:
This unfolding drama begins with reports that Sam Altman is attempting to pivot OpenAI to a for-profit organization, allegedly valued at around $40 billion. This has not only led to speculation but also direct interference from Musk, who is acting to prevent such a transition. Musk's attempted intervention includes a staggering bid of $97 billion for OpenAI's nonprofit assets, leading to a critical ultimatum for Altman and his team. They are now stuck in a precarious position where they either have to accept Musk's bid or muster the resources to counter it – a challenge compounded by the fact that Altman reportedly lacks the necessary funding.
