Sam Altman said Tuesday that Elon Musk’s “insecurity” was a factor in his decision to make a hostile $97.4 billion bid to take control of OpenAI, escalating an ugly war of words between the rival tech billionaires.
 Altman reiterated that OpenAI is “not for sale” after the unsolicited offer from a group led by Musk – who is currently trying to block the startup from restructuring to a for-profit entity as part of a broad federal antitrust lawsuit against the ChatGPT maker, key investor Microsoft and Altman himself.
 “Probably his whole life is from a position of insecurity,” Altman said during an interview with Bloomberg at the high-profile Paris AI summit. “I feel for the guy. I don’t think he’s a happy person.”
