🙃Elon Musk’s $100B mystery just backfired in court What was supposed to be a power move is now looking… a bit messy. • Back in Feb 2025, Elon Musk made a $97.4B bid for OpenAI’s nonprofit arm, claiming it was just to “set a fair market price” during its restructuring. • Fast forward to court: Musk testifies (and casually admits xAI distilled OpenAI models 👀). • Then comes his financial right-hand man, Jared Birchall… who basically says: “I don’t remember” “I’m not sure” “I heard something somewhere” • The problem? Musk’s own lawyer brought up the $100B deal which gave OpenAI’s lawyers an opening to ask: “Cool… so where did that number actually come from?” • Turns out: No clear valuation No solid investor commitments No documents (because it was “out of scope”) • At this point, the judge steps in, sends the jury out, and essentially asks: “How do you casually assemble a $100B offer with no receipts?” By bringing up the deal themselves, Musk’s team may have just triggered deeper scrutiny, possibly new document discovery, maybe even antitrust angles.
