Musk vs. OpenAI: The $97B Showdown

Elon Musk has offered to withdraw his $97.4 billion bid for OpenAI’s nonprofit if the organization halts its shift to a for-profit model and preserves its original charitable mission. This legal battle marks the latest twist in Musk’s ongoing feud with OpenAI’s leadership.

Key Points:

• Musk’s court filing states his bid is "serious" and aims to compensate the nonprofit fairly if its assets are sold.

• OpenAI’s board swiftly rejected the offer, asserting that the nonprofit is not for sale.

• Musk has an active lawsuit against the company accusing it of fraud and anticompetitive behavior.

• OpenAI transitioned from a nonprofit to a “capped-profit” structure in 2019 and is now restructuring into a public benefit corporation.

• OpenAI’s legal team argues Musk’s bid contradicts his lawsuit, which claims that restructuring would breach the nonprofit’s mission.

Musk’s bid adds another layer to the high-stakes battle over OpenAI’s future. Whether the company sticks to its restructuring plans or bows to legal pressure remains to be seen.

Reddit’s Search May Get Smarter

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman announced plans to revamp the platform’s search experience in 2025, aiming to help users find answers to complex and subjective questions. The update will integrate Reddit Answers, a feature that curates and summarizes relevant discussions, into the existing search function. To support this, the company is building a dedicated search team. Reddit has increasingly leaned into AI, introducing features like AI-powered translation and insights for brands. However, the platform’s Q4 performance fell short of investor expectations, partly due to changes in Google’s search algorithm. Huffman hinted that making search a core part of Reddit’s onboarding process could drive growth and monetization.
