OpenClaw founder rejects Meta and OpenAI acquisition proposals, insists on maintaining open source

ChainCatcher News, OpenClaw (formerly Clawdbot) founder Peter Steinberger revealed that he has received acquisition offers from Meta and OpenAI, but he insists he will only consider a deal if the project remains open source.

This self-modifying AI assistant quickly gained 180,000 stars on GitHub, becoming an important open-source AI agent platform. Despite the project losing $10,000 to $20,000 per month and nearly being abandoned due to trademark issues and attacks from cryptocurrency scammers, Steinberger remains committed to its open-source philosophy. He predicts that OpenClaw-style AI agents will replace 80% of existing applications and has discussed potential collaboration with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.

There is a plot. Somebody figured out that AI will hurt politically (resources, jobs, prices, tax) and now they will crack down on AI and the market will hurt. Also, someone will short the AI market and make a fortune without even asking for it. A marvelous business. Big and Beautiful.
