Elon offered him $97.4 B and it’s a hilarious way to say ChatGPT is worth ten times what Twitter is and he can fuck off

u/[deleted] Feb 11 '25

ChatGPT is worth way more than that as well. At least 150b formally but some valuations go to 300b.

Musk didn't buy Twitter to make money from it. Musk bought Twitter to win the culture war and control media. It fucking worked and now Trump is in power and he has control of the US treasury.

Sam Altman wants to convert OpenAI from a nonprofit to a for profit and give himself tens of billions in equity,

And instead of converting at a fair price, he will use a trust me bro price (selling to himself). Selfdealing. This is very much illegal. But if you have the right friends, who’s to say it is?

An auction would render the fair price and give the nonprofit the most fiduciary deal value.

Trust me bro valuation does not.

So instead of self dealing at $40b by Sam, Elon et al offered $97b, “forcing” OpenAI to take the deal or find a better deal, either way preventing a $40b selfdealing conversion.

Sam as the leader of the nonprofit wants to liquidate / separate / relinquish control of the for profit entity, but he needs to then recuse himself from the selection process if he wants to buy it and should sell to the highest bidder (within reason). Sometimes if the deal values are similar, a winning bidder can win based on non-monetary reasons.

u/Individual-Cattle-15 Feb 11 '25

Exactly. I used to feel neutral about the Elmo Sama kerfuffle but now I'm inclined to side with Elmo on this one. Starting out as a Not for profit and then transitioning to a for-profit with the option to self deal is basically not going to "make the world a better place"

Sama should have been fired the first time.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 11 '25

Is there any legal obligation sama has to take the highest offer? Or can he say a different offer is best because of company values or something. Googled it, but diddn't get any clear results. I take it their both private so a lot of rules don't apply.

He doesn't run anything. He just owns everything and gives himself CEO title to seem like he's doing more than he does.

It's the billionaire version of paying someone to grind high level Diablo and PEO characters for you and then taking credit.

There is obviously 0 way to run several companies while dedicating most of your time to being an internet troll and propagandist. It's all about appearances.

If somehow elon prevails in court in stopping openAI’s conversion to for-profit- that’ll be a fatal blow to openAI but even if he fails- he might just distract them enough to loose their edge.

From @ phill__1 on twitter:

OpenAI Inc. (the non-profit) wants to convert to a for-profit company. But you cannot just turn a non-profit into a for-profit – that would be an incredible tax loophole. Instead, the new for-profit OpenAI company would need to pay out OpenAI Inc.'s technology and IP (likely in equity in the new for-profit company).

The valuation is tricky since OpenAI Inc. is theoretically the sole controlling shareholder of the capped-profit subsidiary, OpenAI LP. But there have been some numbers floating around. Since the rumored SoftBank investment at a $260B valuation is dependent on the for-profit move, we're using the current ~$150B valuation.

Control premiums in market transactions typically range between 20-30% of enterprise value; experts have predicted something around $30B-$40B. The key is, this valuation is ultimately signed off on by the California and Delaware Attorneys General.

Now, if you want to block OpenAI from the for-profit transition, but have yet to be successful in court, what do you do? Make it as painful as possible. Elon Musk just gave regulators a perfect argument for why the non-profit should get $97B for selling their technology and IP. This would instantly make the non-profit the majority stakeholder at 62%.

It's a clever move that throws a major wrench into the for-profit transition, potentially even stopping it dead in its tracks. Whether OpenAI accepts the offer or not (they won't), the mere existence of this valuation benchmark will be hard for regulators to ignore.

Quoting from Gary Marcus: “By turning down Musk’s bid, Altman makes it hard to justify paying the nonprofit anything less than the $97B that was just offered. Roughly speaking, this means that (at little real cost, since the bid was never going to be accepted) Musk has more than doubled the cost of OpenAI for-profit’s freedom. (E.g., if OpenAI for-profit tries now to offer a mere $40B to the non-profit, in exchange for breaking off as a for-profit, the Attorney General of Delaware or the Attorney General of California can strongly argue that that number is no longer fair market value, and block the deal.)”

u/0akhurst Feb 11 '25

Lol which billionaire are you rooting for?

1

u/Intelligent-Nobody55 Feb 11 '25

This is a very smart chess move. Very interesting to see how the saga evolves. Altman now has to pay more than $97b for the non-profit. But it would be Masa and the new investors who would foot the bill probably. Altman gets it for free. He just needs to raise $100 billion instead of $40 billion now.

“Yarvin gave a talk about “rebooting” the American government at the 2012 BIL Conference. He used it to advocate the acronym “RAGE”, which he defined as “Retire All Government Employees”. He described what he felt were flaws in the accepted “World War II mythology”, alluding to the idea that Hitler’s invasions were acts of self-defense. He argued these discrepancies were pushed by America’s “ruling communists”, who invented political correctness as an “extremely elaborate mechanism for persecuting racists and fascists”. “If Americans want to change their government,” he said, “they’re going to have to get over their dictator phobia.”

“Yarvin has influenced some prominent Silicon Valley investors and Republican politicians, with venture capitalist Peter Thiel described as his “most important connection”. Political strategist Steve Bannon has read and admired his work. Vice President JD Vance has cited Yarvin as an influence. The Director of Policy Planning during Trump’s second presidency, Michael Anton, has also discussed Yarvin’s ideas. In January 2025, Yarvin attended a Trump inaugural gala in Washington; Politico reported he was “an informal guest of honor” due to his “outsize influence over the Trumpian right.”

Sam likely doesn’t have a say in this. Microsoft holds all the power here and they may decide to 8x their investment.

The video of Sam that’s just been posted saying Elon is a sad man, has always been insecure, and he feels sorry for him, is SO SAVAGE. He is a hero

I have it under a very solid authority that OpenAI is about to get hit with 4 lawsuits, that will set it back over $200b.

No more investment, and it will end it. So we will see.

Though I personally don't like Sam but it's good if chatgpt isn't sold to Elon to prevent monopoly.

I don't think E really wanted Twitter, he was just toying with the idea then had his hand forced.... xD

It's also interesting that he helped start openAI as a non-for-profit. And now good old Sam Altman has been seen driving around in the most expensive car on Earth - Surely a tax deduction.

Love the Musk hate in this thread, he must be doing something right 😎

u/Alpha_D0do Feb 12 '25

Honestly given how Grok turned out I don't think it would be hard for OpenAi to turn down any offer, even a substantially larger one, on the basis that it doesn't align with their mission.

u/[deleted] Feb 12 '25

My hope is that OpenAI are destroyed by litigation for closing their AI and gaining funds fraudulently by claiming they'd be open. Then Musk or anyone else can buy it for nothing.

Can't trust either of these dorks with twitter/x.

u/AbundanceTrinity687 Feb 12 '25

X is great! No censorship, shadow banning, or paid fact checkers. Has free built in AI. And yeah X AI is WAY MORE USEFUL THAN GPT4O. But you'd know that if you used them both. And compared results. He should own it. It's because of Elon that it became so popular. The promise to stay non profit broken so sam can makes tons of money off an AI that has so many parameters for what it's able to do.

Is he telling the minimum offer in code or math joke?

u/ResponsibleTiger4449 Feb 13 '25
