India, July 22 -- Daniel Francis, founder of Abel, has claimed that Meta offered an AI expert $1.25 billion to join the company, and the person said no.

Francis shared the details with his followers on Sunday. He clarified that the sum would have been paid over four years, averaging over $300 million a year.

"Person said no, btw," he wrote bluntly, without naming names.

The tweet was actually an update to a prior post he floated into the X-verse earlier in the weekend, where he posted, "Meta offered someone $1 billion for four years work."

Now, with the $1.25 billion figure on the table and still no takers, Francis expressed, "Was informed of a $1.25 billion offer for four years, new highest I've seen. guys what the hell is going on."...
