Sam Altman's counterattack
Sam Altman has rejected Elon Musk's offer and instead has offered a deal to Musk. Altman said on social media platform X, "No, thank you, but if you want, we will buy X (formerly Twitter) for $9.74 billion".

Why does Musk want to buy OpenAI?
Elon Musk has been a founding member of OpenAI. Musk founded OpenAI in 2015 with Altman, which was a non-profit organization,n before Musk left the company in 2019. After separating from it, Musk has raised questions about it many times.
Musk believes that it was started as a non-profit company, but OpenAI has turned it into a profit-making company. By forming the company and partnering with Microsoft, it has betrayed its core mission.
