"The company is not for sale. It's another one of his tactics to try to mess with us."

"So my very basic read is Elon's offer isn't serious."

"Musk and his legal team's insistence that the offer is real should keep it in the headlines for a while, but I’m still skeptical of their story."

"We don't expect any meaningful discussions to develop."

"Elon's offer to purchase the OpenAI nonprofit for $97.4billion isn't going to happen."

"It's time for OpenAI to return to the open-source, safety-focused force for good it once was. We will make sure that happens."

Will Elon Musk Buy OpenAI?

"It can't happen. It won't happen."

"Elon Musk is not gonna create a new political party."

"It would be extremely unlikely for a new major party to form."

"[T]he product [America Party] itself is an ideological identity. Not something recreatable with a more streamlined process."

"Elon Musk has officially declared his intent to launch a new political party, an announcement long on bravado but short on substance."

"Only the richest person in the world could make a serious effort at creating a new American political party."

"If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day."

"It would be difficult for the Trump administration to deport Musk as a naturalized United States citizen."

"In my opinion unless there was fraud in obtaining his status there is no chance of his citizenship been revoked."

"@elonmusk has been a U.S. Citizen since 2002. Citizens cannot be deported. Period."

Elon Musk "is about to be deported from America and he has no South Africa to go back to."

"According to the report, he is not a US citizen. This is a one way ticket out of the US."

"If he failed to mention his illegal work when he applied for naturalization, his citizenship theoretically could be revoked."

"We'll have to take a look."
