Musk ultimately contributed $45 million to OpenAI's funding, and $90 million was raised through other donors, CNN reports. . He never fulfilled his promise to fund the rest, CNN reports. . We all understood we were going to need a lot more capital to succeed at our mission — billions of dollars per year, which was far more than any of us, especially Elon, thought we’d be able to raise as the non-profit, OpenAI, via blog post.
