Musk’s $100 billion OpenAI bid drew Altman’s Twitter joke

🚨 Elon Musk offers ~$100 billion to buy OpenAI!

‍

Sam Altman politely declines: "no, thank you"

"but we’ll buy twitter for $9.74 billion if you want."

Two kids taunting each other on a playground. 😂

‍

Elon lowballs OpenAI at less than half its estimated $260B valuation.

Sam reminds him of his $44 billion overpriced Twitter acquisition, now worth less than 1/10.

‍

Elon was right all along…

We do live in a simulation!
