Satya joins BloombergTV live and Kara Swisher for an ad-hoc podcast to demonstrate his upper hand and sovereignty.Įmployees, who are about to lose most of equity options' value after the latest USD 86bn round liekly will implode sign a letter claiming they'll leave if no solution is to be found also disclosing a standing offer to join Sam at MSFT if needed.Ģ4 hours later, 95% of the 700 employees have signed the letter, incl. Satya has turned his fate and everyone else is F****D. Nov 20th: Monday morning, MSFT Boss Satya Nadella surprises the markets and public by announcing Sam and his team will join Microsoft. But again, no solution for his return can be found. Nov 19th: On Sunday, the board instead names Emmett Shear the new CEO, while Investors and MSFT keep negotiating about a return of Sam, who's visiting the office on Sunday evening. Late Saturday talks about the return of Altman begin, but sudden conditions of Sam Altman, who by now understands his power, won't be met by the board and a deadline for the board to step down expires.

His investment OpenAI is dissolving by the minute and key staff is threatening to build a rival. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, whose weekend wasn't off to a good start from the beginning is left with nothing but his 🍆 in his hand. His Co-Founder Greg and a few high-level execs already plead loyalty and will follow him. Meanwhile, Altman announces he'll start something new of his own. Nov 18th: On Saturday stakeholders are still largely in the dark about the real reasons for Sam's departure. Due to this poor communication, speculations spread like wildfires on what used to be Twitter. The public, investors, employees, and OpenAI's big partner Microsoft, who committed USD 13bn to the venture, learn the news at the same time, with the board giving no other explanation as a lack of candor. Previously Elon Musk, Reid Hoffmann, and Shivon Zilis resigned from the board, creating a stalemate situation between founders and non-executive members. The board until then consists of OpenAI founders Sam, Greg, and Ilya Sutskever and three 'independent' members Adam D'Angelo (CEO Quora), Tasha McCauley, and Helen Toner. Nov 17th: Last Friday, OpenAI Founder and CEO Sam Altman is invited to a Google Meet call, in which he - to his surprise - learns he's being fired and his co-founder Greg Brockman is removed from the board. Sam Altman is back at OpenAI! Here's your 40 sec timeline of the events leading us here.
