Kelsey Piper is a very serious tech journalist who has written extensively about the OpenAI for-profit transition and the corporate structures involved [1].

You can present an argument about why it's a "bad analysis" but your offhand "analysis" is not constructive or well-informed here.

You're right. I was too quick and jumped the gun by calling it "bad analysis". However, I do believe that the source of this offer is the larger factor than the dollar amount in OpenAI's valuation of the offer. If this was anyone else offering to buyout OpenAI then the argument makes sense, but Sam Altman and Elon Musk seem to hate each other's guts and are even resorting to name-calling online in the fallout of this offer.

There's a good chance there's more to it than I realize, though.
