‘Swindler, Scam Altman’: Musk hits back after OpenAI buyout rejection

Yet again, Elon Musk has stirred a row with his post on X. In his latest post, Musk called OpenAI CEO Sam Altman a “swindler”. Musk’s comment came after Altman rejected the former’s offer to buy OpenAI.

A consortium of investors, led by Musk, had made an unsolicited bid of $97.4 billion to purchase the non-profit overseeing OpenAI. The Tesla chief framed the offer as an effort to restore the organisation to its original mission of being an “open-source, safety-focused force for good”.
