You mostly summarized it properly, but I mean, it was Elon that most wanted OpenAI to be a for-profit at one point and had made a bunch of proposals that would have, and also things like OpenAI being part of Tesla, but mostly just create a new for-profit that he was going to be in control of and So other than that, I think a lot of the summary there is correct.

I have a bunch of thoughts and opinions on it, but as a statement of facts, that was otherwise mostly correct.

Yeah. Look, I don't live inside Elon's head, so this is a little bit of speculation. Elon definitely did a lot to help open AI in the early days, and in spite of all of this, I'm very grateful, and I think he's just a sort of legendary entrepreneur. He's also clearly a bully, and he's also someone who clearly likes to get in fights. You know, right now it's me.

It's been Bezos, Gates, Zuckerberg, lots of other people. And I think fundamentally, this is about OpenAI is doing really well. Elon cares about doing really well. Elon started and now runs a very direct competitor that's trying to do exactly what OpenAI does. And I'll point out as a structure, you know, it's like a public benefit corp.

And I heard Elon has majority ownership and control and seems like a reasonable thing he would do. I think a lot of the press has been misreported. Even if we go through with any of the conversion ideas or evolution ideas we're talking about, it's not like the nonprofit goes away. The nonprofit doesn't stop being a nonprofit and becomes a for-profit.

We've talked publicly about maybe we evolve our current LLC into a PBC, but anything we do would strengthen the nonprofit. The nonprofit would continue to exist. It would continue to serve people. hopefully better serve the same purpose.
