I'd call that a story about interviewing at a venture that Elon Musk started. I certainly wouldn't call that a story about Elon Musk.

Let's be real here, this was a rather poor attempt at name dropping Sam. It also had nothing to do with Sam.

It also had nothing to do with how the company was run, which they'd really know very little about, given that it was a pre-interview. They turned the offer to continue down due to the concept, not how it was run.

If the person had described sitting down at an interview with Sam and discussing the way the company was run, then I'd call that a Sam story about how the company was run.

Did I walk through this slowly enough for you?

Guy goes into interview with an early fly-by-night Sam Altman operation. Finds it dysfunctional as expected.

Reports it back to us as Sam Altman launches another fly-by-night operation.

Sorry, but it's a Sam Altman story.

"fly-by-night" and "as expected" are your own added bias. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It is a story about a pre-interview, not a story about Sam.

It's a story about Sam.

And no, not by own bias, just an accurate reading of OP's story about his operation.

Sure. Whatever.
Thanks for agreeing. :-)
