I find it strange that Satya says he has not been given an explanation yet.

Tweet from Bloomberg Tech Journalist, Emily Chang

>The more I watch this interview – the wilder this story seems. Satya insists he hasn’t been given any reason why Sam was fired. THE CEO OF MICROSOFT STILL DOES NOT KNOW WHY: “I’ve not been told about anything…” he tells me.

Thinking as charitable as possible, this broke just before the weekend and developed over the weekend, outside of business hours. Even the management team of openai haven't seen anything in writing from the board. We should see by lunch / close of business today a written statement by the board.

In today's tiktok world we expect instant responses but business and boards work slower. Really, even 5 years ago we wouldn't be surprised by this. Lawyers, banks, investors etc would all need to be contacted, things arranged, statements prepared, meetings organised. So a written statement late today, and a meeting for mid week. That's about the most charitable I can think of!

Apparently board bylaws say they need 48hrs notice to arrange special meetings. So the earliest would be today if they arranged it early Saturday.
