ChatGPT maker says Elon Musk turned to Mark Zuckerberg for help financing $97 billion OpenAI bid

OpenAI has claimed in a court filing that Elon Musk tried to enlist Mark Zuckerberg in his $97 billion bid to take over ChatGPT maker. The company stated that Musk had identified the Meta CEO as someone with whom he had discussed the possibility of financing the takeover bid.

OpenAI is now asking Meta, via its lawyers, to produce any evidence of coordination with Musk and his startup xAI regarding the acquisition or investment of the company. This request was made in a public brief filed on Thursday in response to Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI.
