During an interview at the AI Action Summit, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman dismissed Elon Musk's $97.4 billion bid for the nonprofit as an effort to hinder OpenAI's progress. Altman characterized Musk as a competitor striving for technological advantage through his own company, xAI. He even suggested that Musk's actions stem from personal insecurities. Although Altman publicly rejected the bid, the board, including member Larry Summers, hasn't officially responded yet, indicating that the final decision on the offer may require more time.
