Elon Musk, who took over Twitter in 2022, had earlier also attempted to take control of OpenAi, the creator of ChatGPT that is currently creating a buzz around the world. However, Sam Altman and the company's other founders rejected Musk's proposal, according to a report by Semafor.

Musk, in turn, walked away from the company and reneged on a massive planned donation, reports Semafor.

Musk told Altman that he believed the "venture had fallen fatally behind Google".
