It's certainly possible, but I don't think any of the tech giants are in a position to do that today. Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are in a cost cutting cycle, Meta's csuite is probably on a short leash after the metaverse boomdoggle. Apple is the most likely one because they're generally behind everyone else across all ML products but especially LLMs, but afaik they're bracing for seeing drops in sales for the first time in 15 years, so buying openAI might be a tough pitch.

I believe that Microsoft owns a huge portion of OpenAI, like just short of majority stake
