One of the most complex offers in history has already been in the process. And then Elon Musk arrived on Monday afternoon. A consortium under the guidance of Mošus said that Pay exactly $ 97.4 billion for an openingLaunching artificial intelligence. But wealth is not for operational business-it is for a non-profit vehicle currently managed by Openi Enterprise.
The Musk rival Sam Altman-Executive Director of OPENAI is a complicated negotiations on the collapse of non-profit and non-profit entities into one structure. Such simplification is supposedly necessary to attract additional dozens of billions of investments needed to build and commercialize a large linguistic model. The current circuit collection circuit should be valid at Open and $ 260 billion.
In simpler times, about ten years ago, an unprofit/non -profit difference of openii was an idealistic kim, with the aim of ensuring that artificial intelligence was managed responsibly and “for the benefit of humanity.” But it turned out that technology was so good that the ORG graph had spoiled the opportunity to create values. Adding the problem, Microsoft has invested $ 13 billion in Openi, but its flow is structured to be limited to a predetermined return.
The pattern and financing of the new offer of Musk and its co-investor-Gotovina, supplies, something else-are now unknown. And the value attributed to something is like three times higher than what was expected to be paid for a non -profit piece of opening.
Openi Enterprise seeking profit is structured as a limited liability company that does not come with the attached traditional fiduciary duties. The non -profit hand, which has raised more than $ 100 million donations, should support his mission, and the board members include such as economist Lawrence Summers and Prophet Adobayo Ogunles.
The constant opera rivalry between the male and Altman remains the main subtext. Musk was involved in the opening in his early days and stands to make money when a non -profit organization is purchased. It also has its own AI venture, XAI, which, which Openii’s obsession – including a previously filed restructuring lawsuit – looks curious.
Considering the LLC and the non -profit status of the opening entity, they do not have to deal with the Musk offer or any other who could get if they do not want to. Altman for his part on Monday answered X, that instead he would be willing to buy an X from a male for $ 9.74 billion, a tenth of Musk Openi offer and a fraction of $ 44 billion paid for Twitter.
Arriving on the Open -Restructuring Agreement will never be easy. Male Gatecrishing will now add light to the focus of negotiations to the minimum and, in particular, how many heavy drives the non -profit organization will be driven.
