OpenAI apparently hasn’t actually received Elon Musk’s acquisition offer.

Elon Musk offered to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion on Monday, but according to Wired:

[Sam] Altman has also told employees that OpenAI’s board, which he sits on, has yet to receive an official offer from Musk and the other investors. If and when this happens, the board plans to reject the bid, according to those same sources. Internally, OpenAI employees reacted to the news with a mixture of fear and exasperation.
