Highly over exaggerated with incomplete information. Firstly that offer was to acquire his company which was partly owned by him. The post make it seems as if he rejected ₹25k cr for himself. secondly, he had accepted that offer but the deal didn't get through completely. Also wdym by rewriting the ai game? windsurf was among the most lagging companies in Ai. And most people (even cursor users) didn't even knew about it before the OpenAi deal.
