Elon Musk's almost comical bid for OpenAI's non-profit arm raises some serious questions. Is this a genuine attempt to steer AI development back towards a more open, safety-focused path, or simply another Muskian power play? The suspiciously low bid, seemingly referencing a sci-fi novel, suggests the latter. However, considering Musk's role in the Trump administration and Trump's focus on AI dominance, could this be a strategic maneuver with far-reaching implications? What would an OpenAI under Musk's control mean for the future of AI, particularly given his seemingly cost-cutting, efficiency-obsessed approach to leadership? Could this be the prelude to a merger with xAI, creating an unprecedented AI powerhouse? This move, though seemingly absurd, warrants serious discussion. What are the potential consequences, both positive and negative, of such a scenario?
