Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI – the maker of ChatGPT – has rebuffed a $97.4bn (£78.4bn) bid to take over the firm from a consortium of investors led by Elon Musk.
Musk’s attorney, Marc Toberoff, confirmed he submitted the bid for “all assets” of the tech company to its board on Monday.
The offer is the latest twist in a longstanding battle between Musk, the world’s richest man and right hand to US President Donald Trump, and Open AI chief executive Sam Altman over the future of the start-up at the centre of the AI boom.
