This is at the core of this lawsuit. The real reason Musk left and didn't sue OpenAI for years is that he didn't believe it would work.
Elon only got mad when he saw OpenAI suceed and he was himself struggling to compete in AI at Tesla and xAI.
@Teknium@cptdankkk@sama what i meant with "legal" is the nonprofit board is, in law, still above him; he does not legally own OpenAI and cannot formally do anything he wants without any board constraints
@Teknium@cptdankkk the balance of power shifted after 2023 when the board was forced into a corner by the investors, internal employees, and apparent microslop's alignment with @sama that's just corporate politics but it's still not a legal dictatorship
