And then last month, and this is the most recent development, Elon asked the district judge in California to block OpenAI from converting to this for-profit structure. Okay, that was a mouthful. Did I summarize it properly? And is there anything crucial that I left out or misstated?

Give us like the 10,000-foot version. What is the fundamental conflict between Elon Musk and his various allies, Meta being one of them, and you guys? Like what is the disagreement fundamentally about?

For someone who's just sort of tuning into this topic, why is it important, Sam, that OpenAI has a for-profit arm or converts in the way that you've been talking about? Why is that essential to your growth?

Maybe another way to say it is like it's absolutely essential for the computational power to create.

You've said a lot of different things about Elon in recent days. You gave this interview at Dealbook where Andrew Ross Sorkin is sort of asking you how you feel about the conflict. And you say, sad. And you also say that you think Elon's companies are awesome.

And then he asked you, do you think he's going to use his newfound political influence to kind of punish you or punish OpenAI or punish his competitors? And you said in that interview that you thought he would do the right thing. How do you square that with what you just told me, which is that Elon's a bully? Bullies don't typically do the right thing.

Until now, much of this battle – for those of us who are like perpetually online and perpetually on Twitter, we have been following the conflict via like tweets lobbed, subtweets. It's all sort of been playing out in real time on Twitter for us to watch. OpenAI, though, has sort of been in, like, response mode sometimes or mostly kind of ignoring everything. That's sort of how I'd characterize it.

That changed a few days ago when you guys published this very, very long memo on OpenAI's website. And it's like a timeline going back to 2015, proving from your perspective that, you know, via emails and screenshots of texts and explanations of those screenshots and those texts that... Elon was open to OpenAI being a for-profit going all the way back then. I read all 29 pages.
