OpenAI's board on Wednesday questioned the rationality of a $97.40 billion offer from Mr. Musk and others to buy the company. On Monday, a consortium of investors led by Mr. Musk offered to buy assets of the nonprofit that controls the company, intensifying a years-long feud between Mr. Musk and OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman. In a court filing on Wednesday, the company said Musk's takeover offer was consistent with its legal claims in a lawsuit filed against OpenAI last year.
On February 11, OpenAI founder Sam Altman responded to Musk's offer of $97.40 billion to gain control of OpenAI: "No thanks, but if you [Musk] want, we will acquire Twitter for $9.74 billion."
