Sam Altman attacks Elon Musk over OpenAI bid: ‘Don’t think he's a happy person'

I wish he would just compete by building a better product, but I think there’s been a lot of tactics,

Altman said

OpenAI is not for sale. The OpenAI mission is not for sale."

The escalating war of words between the tech billionaires saw Altman reiterating

He's raised a lot of money for xAI, and they're trying to compete with us from a technological perspective,

Altman added

The company is not for sale. It's another one of his tactics to try to mess with us,

OpenAI's co-founder Sam Altman said of the alleged offer from Musk

I have nothing to say. I mean, it's ridiculous,

Altman said on the sidelines of an AI summit in Paris when asked about the offer

It does help set a price point for the thinking about the valuation of the nonprofit assets,

Robert Weissman, co-president of Public Citizen, the consumer rights watchdog, told Reuters

The board would need to consider a bid even if they didn't invite it,

Aprill told CNBC

The best thing we can do is more forward with dedication and resilience,

Altman wrote

I think he’s probably just trying to slow us down. He obviously is a competitor,

Altman told Bloomberg TV at the Paris summit on Tuesday

There is a legally binding purpose,

said Jill Horwitz, a professor at UCLA School of Law

OpenAI has a mission... of making AGI benefit all of humanity,

Altman told a tech business event on the sidelines of the Paris AI summit, referring to an artificial general intelligence that would be smarter than a human in all areas

Maybe it was like this at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Maybe it was like this at the beginning of the internet,

he added

The board will decide what to do there...the mission is really important and we're totally focused on making sure we preserve that,

Altman told Sky News

Sam Altman-founder

It would be profoundly un-American to use political power, to the degree that Elon has it, to hurt your competitors and advantage your own businesses, and I don't think people would tolerate that. I don't think Elon would do it."

Sam Altman about Musk in December 2024

Probably his whole life is from a position of insecurity I feel for the guy I don’t think he’s happy

To which Altman said

We’re not moving to a for-profit model,

Altman said

Maybe I should, but not particularly,

Altman said

When EA surprise-dropped a rerelease of The Sims 1 and 2 last weekend to celebrate the series’ 25th anniversary, with all expansions included (my nine-year-old self’s dream) naturally I was compelled to return to my happy place,

People using Maps in the US will see ‘Gulf of America,’ and people in Mexico will see ‘Gulf of Mexico.’ Everyone else will see both names,

Google said in a statement Monday

I think it's to slow down a competitor and catch up with his thing, but I don't really know ... to the degree anybody does,

Altman added, in response to another reporter's questions on the sidelines of the AI Action Summit in Paris
