OpenAI Drama: Leaked Notes Show Plot to Boot Musk for Profits

Okay so I saw this leak and honestly, the OpenAI drama just keeps getting spicier. Turns out Greg Brockman kept detailed notes about wanting to push Elon Musk out of the company back in the day, and someone just made them public.

Here's what gets me. Brockman literally wrote "This is the only chance we have to get out from Elon" in his personal journal. That's not exactly subtle, right? The notes apparently show him and Sam Altman cooking up plans to restructure OpenAI from a nonprofit into something that could actually make money. And they needed Musk gone to do it.

What strikes me about this whole thing is the timing. We're sitting here in 2026 watching OpenAI rake in billions while Musk is off doing his own AI stuff with xAI. But back then? They were all supposed to be buddies working together to save humanity from evil AI. The fact that Brockman was documenting their scheme to oust one of their biggest funders and turn the whole operation commercial... man, that's cold.

Look, I get it. Running a nonprofit in the AI space when you're competing with Google and Meta sounds rough. You need serious cash to train these models. But the way they apparently went about it, based on these notes? That's some Game of Thrones level plotting. And now that it's all out there, I wonder if this changes how people view OpenAI's whole "we're doing this for humanity" pitch.

The really wild part is that they actually pulled it off. Musk's out, OpenAI's worth like $150 billion now, and ChatGPT basically owns the consumer AI market. Guess Brockman's plan worked.
