Microsoft own OpenAI equity. Technically he has the authority to do so. At this point he cant do Elon firing as they need to preserve the stock price. You can say in a way the existing board turn rogue and hold him hostage. Once this settle, you will see near 100% board changes. If this not happening, half the OpenAI staff will be gone before next year 4th of July. At that point, their equity will worth significantly less. The crux of OpenAI is not their chatgpt but gpu. They are like Apple and Amazon big enough to make their own gpu. Sam wants to secure gpu access by founding a 2nd NVIDIA. Even if not, they can still be kingmaker. Whoever gpu being used, you will see that stock price shoot up....yes if Intel Arc. The board members arent that smart and thought he try to circumvent them. It is basically ego power play. They never realize how powerful and influential Sam is. At this point it is too late for those board members. Expect them to get shunt by evety investors in SV. As for Quora....hahaha...pretty much another Evernote fate.
