ELON MUSK ASKED META CEO MARK ZUCKERBERG TO JOIN XAI BID TO BUY OPENAI, FILING SHOWS

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Elon Musk asked Mark Zuckerberg to help him finance a $97.4 billion takeover of OpenAI earlier this year. Musk was incensed that the company was pushing to transform into a for-profit entity when he floated the proposal. Musk and xAI had approached Zuckerberg with a letter of intent, but neither Zuckerberg nor Meta signed it. The story was revealed in court filings in a legal case between Musk and OpenAI initiated last year to stop the startup from converting to a for-profit entity.
