January 19, according to Bloomberg, ElonMuskTowards OpenAI andMicrosoftThe claim ranges from $790 billion to $134 billion on the grounds that OpenAI had betrayed him on a non-profit mission. The claim for the same day was based on expert witnesses, financial economist C. Paul Wazan。
He believed that Mask was entitled to a substantial share of the $500 billion in the current valuation of OpenAI, as he had donated $38 million in seed money in 2015 when he co-founded OpenAI. If this were to be the case, the return on Mask would be 3,500 times。
Wazzan's analysis combines the initial financial contribution of Mask and his technical and commercial advice to the early OpenAI team, which calculates that OpenAI earned between $65.5 billion and $10.94 billion, and Microsoft earned between $13.3 billion and $25.1 billion, and claims the right to have the court order both companies to return。
However, OpenAI considers this suit to be part of Mask’s “continuous harassment” rather than a legitimate economic claim. It is reported that OpenAI has written to investors and business partners on Thursday warning Mask that he will make a "pronounced, opportunism" before the April trial。
Also, yesterday, Sam Altman wrote several tweets in social media:
Mask is hyped by the black Greg, but the fact is that Mask was pushing for a new organizational structure, and Greg and Ilia spent a lot of time trying to figure out whether his demands could be met。
UltramanIT WAS NOTED THAT MASK STATED THAT HE WANTED TO RAISE $80 BILLION TO BUILD A SELF-SUFFICIENT CITY OF MARS, AND THAT HE NEEDED AND SHOULD HAVE A MAJORITY SHARE. "HE SAID HE NEEDED FULL CONTROL BECAUSE HE HAD SUFFERED LOSSES WITHOUT CONTROL IN THE PAST. WHEN WE DISCUSSED SUCCESSION PLANS, HE ALSO SUDDENLY MENTIONED THE HOPE THAT THE FUTURE WOULD BE CONTROLLED BY HIS CHILDREN. I'M SORRY
I respect the right of people to express what they want and believe that this helps (or cannot) solve the problem. But the fact that Ellón has said this is an important context in which Greg is trying to figure out what he really wants。
