Elon Musk Asked Mark Zuckerberg to Join OpenAI Buying Bid, According to Court Filings

Looks like the cage fight is off for good.

In August 2023, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg were fighting on X and making plans for an IRL “cage match” brawl. Two years later, it was revealed that the billionaires could have become business partners.

According to court documents seen by CNBC, Musk asked Zuckerberg to help him buy OpenAI in an early 2025 takeover bid for $97.4 billion, the outlet reported late Thursday. OpenAI said that when Musk and xAI were “trying to form a consortium of investors to finance a takeover,” they approached Zuckerberg with a letter of intent.
