Musk's offer to buy OpenAI has put Sam in a corner. Given that Softbank recently made a similar offer of $40B, it would be idiotic of OpenAI's board to pass on Elon's offer which is more than double what Softbank offered.
Like his initial offer to buy Twitter… which he tried to go back on and was forced to follow through on via court?
But there is no apparent benefit to this: He paid what he had already guaranteed he would pay and received what he at various (but not all) times said he wanted to buy, just with extra steps that made him look worse.
