In a surprising development shaking the tech industry, Elon Musk has reportedly made an attempt to buy OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company he co-founded but later distanced himself from.

Musk’s Bid

According to early reports, Musk has approached OpenAI with a takeover proposal. His bid comes at a time when the company is at the center of global discussions about the future of artificial intelligence, ethics, and regulation.

Zuckerberg’s Involvement

What makes this move more striking is that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has allegedly expressed willingness to financially back Musk’s offer. While the details of this collaboration remain unclear, it suggests a rare alignment between two of Silicon Valley’s fiercest rivals.

Industry Reactions

• Tech experts say this could redefine the power balance in the AI world.
• Critics warn that such a merger of influence could concentrate too much power in the hands of a few individuals.
• Supporters argue that Musk and Zuckerberg’s combined resources could accelerate innovation.

Background

Elon Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015 but left its board in 2018, later becoming one of its strongest critics. Mark Zuckerberg, meanwhile, has heavily invested in AI research through Meta. A potential joint involvement of both could reshape the future of the industry.
