  • Elon Musk's $97 billion bid for OpenAI was soundly rejected by the artificial intelligence startup, which said the company "is not for sale."

The article from CNBC Daily Open discusses Elon Musk's legal battle with OpenAI, where he accuses the company of deviating from its original mission to develop AI for the benefit of humanity, instead focusing on profit. Musk, who co-founded OpenAI but left its board in 2018, has filed a lawsuit claiming that OpenAI has become a closed-source entity closely tied to Microsoft, contrary to its initial open-source ethos. The piece highlights Musk's frustration with OpenAI's direction, especially after his significant financial contributions to the organization. It also touches on the broader implications of AI development, mentioning other tech leaders like Mark Zuckerberg and their views on AI's future. Additionally, the article briefly covers other financial news, including market trends and economic indicators, but the focus remains on Musk's ongoing dispute with OpenAI.
