Elon Musk X: Tesla’s CEO and billionaire Elon Musk have once again changed the username of their X (first Twitter) account to ‘Harry Bolz’. The change came when a group led by Musk offered $ 97.4 billion to buy Openai. Openai is the same company that has created Chatgpt.
Who is Harry Bolz?
This is not the first time Musk has used such a name. Earlier in 2023 too, he kept his X username ‘Harry Bolz’. This name is actually a slang, which means “hairy b*”*. When Musk adopted this name in 2023, he jokingly said, “To be honest, I just want a media organization, who considers itself very serious, write a story on ‘Harry Bōlz’.”
Social media users believe that this is Musk’s strategy to play with another word. In December 2024 too, he changed his username to ‘Kekius Maximus’. It is believed that this name was a mixture of Internet Mim ‘Pepe the Frog’ and the character of the film ‘Gladiator’ Maximus Decimus Meridius. At that time, in Musk’s profile photo, Pepe the Frog was shown holding a video game controller in the golden armor.
Alan Musk’s proposal to buy Openai rejected
Openai’s CEO Sam Altman has made it clear that his company is not to sell. When Elon Musk and his investors offered $ 97.4 billion, Altman replied to X, “No, thanks! But if you want, we can buy Twitter for $ 9.74 billion.”
During the AI Action Summit in Paris, Altman taunted Musk in a conversation with Sky News, saying, “Openai can happily buy Twitter.” In addition, Altman said in an interview to AXIOS, “Alan Musk has been trying to control Openai for a long time. So well, this is the new episode of this week. Openai is not for sale. Our company is not for sale. The mission is also not for sale. Any competitor that cannot beat us in the market is now trying to buy Openai – this is a strange way. “
