I thought this as well. However, this team could be given the option to be completely remote. And if they're given equal shares of $MSFT it could be compelling. The trajectory OpenAI is taking means the stock could go the way of WeWork and be worthless in the coming years. Of course, all of this is speculation and the only people who know what's going on are the board and their new CEO. There could be a scenario that this stabilizes and everything will be ok.
