Elon Musk’s bid for OpenAI
This is just one of the many names Musk has used to refer to Altman. Earlier this month, a Musk-led consortium of investors offered around $97.4 billion to acquire OpenAI, intensifying the ongoing legal dispute with the artificial intelligence company he helped establish.

Altman had replied to the offer saying, “No thank you but we will buy twitter for $9.74 billion if you want.”
Musk responded to this by calling him a “Swindler”.
Altman, in turn, had said Musk was acting out of a “position of insecurity” during an interview with Bloomberg Television at the Paris AI Summit. He added, “I don’t think he’s a happy person.”
Musk’s legal action against OpenAI began last year, when he filed a lawsuit claiming that the company had deviated from its original mission of being a non-profit research lab dedicated to serving the public good.
