Elon Musk wanted Mark Zuckerberg to join its $ 97.4 billion agreement to buy Openai
Elon Musk tried to queue in Mark Zuckerberg for the $ 97.4 billion bid to take over Sam Altman’s Openai, but the Meta founder did not come on board, a court piece showed on Thursday. The move can be called surprisingly, as it came just a one and a half years after the two technical billionaires closed publicly and were even ready to go against each other in a cage fight. The court conservation, made by the Chatgpt manufacturer before the Northern District of California Federal Court, came as part of the ongoing legal battle between Musk and Openai. Openai said Musk identified Mark Zuckerberg as one of the people he communicated with about financing an agreement to buy the Chatgpt manufacturer. Openai claims that the Tesla CEO announced during the affidavit about his communication with Zuckerberg. What did Openai say in the court conservation? The Sam Altman-led company, best known for its AI-Chatbot-Chatgpt, sought directions from a federal judge to order meta-platforms to order documents and any form of communication associated with Openai. Meta orders were also searched to disclose documents “regarding any actual or potential restructuring or recapitalization of open opai.” “Meta’s communication with other bidders, or internal communication, including those that reflect discussions with Musk or other bidders, would also shed light on the motivations for the bid,” Openai said in the submission of the court while calling Musk and Meta two of his most important competitors. Neither Zuckerberg nor Meta signed the intent letter or participated in the $ 97.4 billion bid, Openai said. Openai formally rejected Musk’s offer in February. Meta responds in the same court conservation, Meta asked the court to refuse the summons of Openai. It is said that Openai should seek any relevant documents directly from Musk and his AI OPSTART XAI, which is a Chatgpt participant. “Meta’s own communication regarding Openai’s restructuring or recapitalization (even as narrow) is not relevant to this action,” Meta noted in court conservation. “To the extent that Openai is looking for meta documents that claimants do not have, such documents are not relevant to this action,” he added. In February this year, Elon Musk and a few other investors made an unsolicited offer to take control of the non-profit control that Openai controls. Sam Altman quickly rejected the offer on X: “No thanks, but we will buy Twitter for $ 9.74 billion if you want.”
