The head of X has made comments about the unfolding narrative surrounding the “OpenAI coup” and Microsoft’s appointment of Sam Altman to head its new AI unit.
CryptoCaster Quick Check:
Tech tycoon and X boss Elon Musk wrote a message on his personal X website addressing the current state of affairs involving the OpenAI startup, which he provided financial backing for eight years prior.
According to Musk, the “OpenAI telenovela” is gaining a growing number of X users, and its ratings are “off the hook.” The X platform got 8.2 billion visits in September, and in October, that number increased to 8.4 billion, up 2.9%, according to the tweet he referenced. However, no information was provided for November.
To summarize, all began on Friday when Sam Altman, the CEO and co-founder of OpenAI, was let go from his senior managerial role in the business, which is well-known for creating the ChatGPT AI chatbot.
In addition, Greg Brockman, the president of OpenAI, decided to step down in favor of Altman. The company’s board of directors appointed CTO Mira Murati as chief executive because they felt Altman was unfit to guide the business into the future. Nevertheless, the former Twitch CEO Emmet Shear took over in her new role after she made the decision to rehire both Altman and Brockman.
Seven hundred out of the seven hundred employees of OpenAI have allegedly vowed to quit unless the board that terminated Altman and Brockman steps down, according to a tweet published by Bloomberg journalist Ashlee Vance.

Microsoft rejects Hoskinson’s offer and instead hires Altman and Brockman.
Initially, Brockman declared on the X platform that he and Sam Altman were assembling a group of people to launch a firm with the goal of creating something “new and amazing”.
As a possible partnerchain for Cardano, Altman was invited by Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson to collaborate on creating a decentralized LLM (large language model). The fired CEO of OpenAI did not respond.
But on Monday, rumors circulated that the Microsoft juggernaut had appointed both Altman and Brockman to head its brand-new artificial intelligence division. Microsoft made multiple significant investments in OpenAI earlier in 2019 and 2021. Elon Musk expressed concern in a recent interview that the Bill Gates-founded and Satya Nadella-led corporation was controlling too much power over OpenAI.

Billy Markus, cofounder of DOGE and someone who has been closely monitoring the “OpenAI coup” development, has made a few remarks, but they lean more toward black sarcasm. First, he stated that he anticipates a movie based on the “OpenAI coup,” and then he suggested that OpenAI should combine with FTX.
He then shared a joke featuring Disney’s Winnie the Pooh in which he said Microsoft should have hired OpenAI’s chief developers instead of paying $90 billion to acquire the company. “Microsoft got openai for some azure credits,” he tweeted.
