Almost all original OpenAI team members, including Elon Musk, Dario Amodei, Ilia Sutskever, and Mira Murati, left after clashing with Sam Altman.

Elon Musk was one of the co-founders of OpenAI in 2015 when the company started as a nonprofit.

OpenAI disbanded its mission alignment team.

Ilya Sutskever, a top recruit who turned down a $6 million annual offer from Google to join OpenAI, began to feel by 2020-2023 that Sam Altman should not have control over the technology.

OpenAI is experiencing talent churn amongst its top developers.

In 2018, Dario Amodei wrote that 'everything was a rotating set of schemes to raise money' in reference to Sam Altman and other OpenAI founders.
