^{AI SPOTLIGHT}
Elon Musk Tried to Buy OpenAI—for $97.4 Billion. He Even Tapped Zuck.

In one of the wildest behind-the-scenes stories in the AI wars, a newly unsealed court filing reveals that Elon Musk personally reached out to Mark Zuckerberg to support his $97.4 billion bid to acquire OpenAI earlier this year. Yep—he tried to bring in the CEO of Meta, a direct AI rival, to help finance the deal. Meta declined, but the bold move speaks volumes.

Now, OpenAI is pressing Meta to hand over internal documents tied to that interaction, suggesting Musk’s bid could undermine the legal theories OpenAI is using to defend itself in court. Meta’s response? Basically: “Not our problem.”

Key Takeaways:

• Musk led a $97.4B bid to buy OpenAI in February and asked Zuckerberg to get involved.

• OpenAI says Meta might have key communications relevant to the ongoing lawsuit.

• Meta is pushing back, arguing Musk—not Meta—should provide any relevant documents.

My Take:
When your competitor can’t beat you, and instead tries to buy you for $97 billion… you know you’re winning. The Big Tech chess game is heating up—and it’s getting personal.

Bank Fires 45 Workers for AI Chatbot - Rehires After Epic Fail

Commonwealth Bank of Australia fired 45 customer service workers to deploy an AI "voice bot," then had to rehire them when the chatbot failed spectacularly. The bank claimed AI reduced call volumes, but workers' union proved this was "an outright lie" - call volumes actually increased while the bank scrambled to offer overtime and direct team leaders to answer calls the AI couldn't handle. This echoes MIT's finding that 95% of corporate AI pilots fail, with the bank admitting its assessment "did not adequately consider all relevant business considerations."

Why this matters for your income: Corporate AI disasters create massive opportunities for entrepreneurs who can deliver working solutions while major institutions fail publicly. Solo creators can build reliable AI customer service systems, offer "AI rescue" consulting for companies whose chatbots are failing, or develop human-AI hybrid solutions that prevent the hire-fire-rehire cycle. Smart operators are positioning as the specialists who can actually implement AI successfully while corporations continue experiencing the 95% failure rate that forces expensive reversals.

Key Takeaways:

• AI implementation disasters create consulting goldmine: 95% failure rate proves companies desperately need specialists who can deploy AI without public embarrassment

• Human-AI hybrid solutions win: Pure AI replacement fails while augmentation approaches avoid costly reversals and union battles

• First-mover advantage in AI rescue services: Failed implementations create premium opportunities for entrepreneurs who can fix corporate AI disasters
