â Sam Altman (@sama) November 19, 2023
Over the weekend, Sam Altman, the co-founder and CEO of OpenAI, was abruptly ousted from the company. The board of directors cited “a lack of confidence” in Altman’s leadership, but did not provide any specific details about what led to their decision.
Altman’s departure was met with shock and confusion from both OpenAI employees and the broader AI community.
Some believe that it was due to a disagreement between Altman and the board over the company’s future direction, while others believe that it was the result of internal power struggles.
Regardless of the reason, Altman’s departure is a major setback for OpenAI, and many of the team working on ChatGPT warned that they would depart as well if he wasnât reinstated.
Here is a timeline of events:
- Friday, November 17: OpenAI announces that Sam Altman has stepped down as CEO. The board of directors says that they have “lost confidence” in Altman’s leadership, but does not provide any specific details.
- Saturday, November 18: The Verge reports that Altman was working on a new venture before his sacking from OpenAI. It is unclear whether this venture is related to his departure from OpenAI.
- Sunday, November 19, Morning: The Guardian reports that the OpenAI board is in discussions with Sam Altman to return as CEO. This comes as a surprise to many people, given that the board had just ousted him days earlier.
- Sunday Evening, November 19, Late Night: The Information reports that the OpenAI board is no longer in discussion with Sam Altman to return as CEO.
And Sam wasnât the only one to go eitherâŠ

Elon Musk Gets âCommunity Note’d đ„Ž
Not all news on Friday was bad news – sorry Sam.
Elon Musk tweeted out that his AI model, Grok, would be available to everyone who purchases Premium+ on X [aka Twitter].
However, many current and new subscribers werenât to happy to find a waitlist form when trying to access the model.
His tweet was soon marked with a note that stated, âPremium+ doesnât give you immediate access to Grok. It is a prerequisite to join the waitlist for Grok.â
Premium+ will give you access to the Grok AI https://t.co/QKLPxVkqfb
