"no thank you but we will buy twitter for $9.74 billion if you want" Exactly one tenth of the offer. Musk replied with one word. "Swindler." The two started OpenAI together in 2015 as a nonprofit. Musk left the board in 2018 and has been fighting Altman ever since, including in court. The bid landed in February 2025, right when OpenAI was trying to turn itself into a for-profit company. A few days later OpenAI's board rejected it unanimously. Altman's own guess was that Musk was "probably just trying to slow us down." I don't think either of them expected a sale. Musk's offer made OpenAI's restructuring harder and more expensive. Altman's reply turned a serious legal move into a meme the whole internet shared. Still, it's wild to watch two of the richest men in tech fight like this over a company they started together. ]]> Tue 27 Oct 2026 11:56:03 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1621106/elon-musk-offered-97-4-billion-for-openai-sam-altman-answered-in-one-line/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619477/not-the-safest-thing-to-do-with-other-vehicle-traffic-present/

A video circulating on social media recently captured a woman claiming that she wants to assassinate US President Donald Trump and his family in response to his recent political actions. The woman, reportedly identified as "Rada Taher" or "Radhika Paraboo" on Instagram, shared several videos on social media with a special message for Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and the Pentagon. According to online reports, the woman allegedly has two Instagram accounts, including one with more than 30,000 followers. She said in one viral video, "Last warning... Trump. Barron will be executed for every day you played a scam, I will eliminate one of your family, and that is the fu**ing truth." "Rhadika" also had a message for Elon Musk and the Pentagon, stating that her family wants a meeting with the renowned tech billionaire and that she has a missile to launch at the governmental building. The video sparked a debate on social media, with many users calling for the woman's arrest over her concerning behavior. A user wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "Assassinations are becoming increasingly more numerous. Dismissing assassins as simply crazy helps solve NOTHING. It's no longer fringe, so it's not 'Oh just crazy people.'" Another wrote, "Incidents like this really highlight the gaps in social media moderation. When threats against public figures stay up, it triggers a massive debate on platform safety and accountability." ]]> Mon 11 May 2026 09:20:03 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1615432/woman-threatens-to-assassinate-trump-and-his-family/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1609006/one-of-my-favorite-posts-of-elon-this-one-made-me-tear-up/
