Most interesting tidbit....
Microsoft ... reportedly owns 49% of the company, while other investors and employees control 49%, with 2% owned by OpenAI's nonprofit parent.
My money is on Altman and Brock collectively owning at least 1.1% and working a hostile-takeover deal with Microsoft.

Boy did you call that one.
Microsoft apparently has made offers to hundreds of OpenAI employees (they have/had 770), including Altman and Brock [cite].
Makes me wonder if we have just witnessed the board committing a "twitter".
Gotta love when a board announces it fired someone for not being candid but refuses to be candid itself. Don't make the statement if you don't want to back it up.
