Reportedly [0], SoftBank is looking to invest $40B for a share of OpenAI.com that would value it at $260B.
Given that OpenAI.org currently wholly owns OpenAI.com (doesn't it? even Msft didn't get a stake?), I have trouble seeing (a) how the $40B valuation would stand up in court if anyone could challenge it (and I believe Musk is trying to do that?), but also (b) how Musk's $100B pushes up the valuation more than a SoftBank investment would do.
