OpenAI Foundation — key-event: Elon Musk-led consortium submits $97.4B bid to buy the nonprofit; unanimously rejected

NoteThe source directly confirms all key elements of the claim: (1) Elon Musk led a consortium/group of investors, (2) they submitted a $97.4 billion bid to buy the nonprofit, (3) the board unanimously rejected it, and (4) the date is February 14, 2025 (consistent with 'as of 2025-02'). The source explicitly states the board 'unanimously rejected' the bid and names multiple consortium members. The claim's characterization as a 'key-event' for OpenAI Foundation is reasonable given the prominence and formal board rejection described in the source.
