The ongoing legal battle between Elon Musk and OpenAI keeps revealing telling details. In court filings, Greg Brockman's remarks caught attention—he pushed back hard against converting the nonprofit into a B-corp structure without Musk's involvement, calling such a move "morally bankrupt." What's striking isn't just the internal disagreement, but what it exposes about how major tech organizations handle governance shifts. The tension highlights the broader question: when influential founders exit, how do you restructure without losing institutional legitimacy? It's a cautionary tale about misaligned incentives and the cost of cutting corners on transparency during pivotal organizational changes.

This legal drama has revealed new gossip again... Brockman is right, secretly changing the organizational structure is indeed suspicious.

NGL, this thing is just outrageous... The folks at OpenAI really are quite "morally bankrupt" for doing this. Haha

Ha, Brockman's comment "morally bankrupt" hit the nail on the head... OpenAI's transition from nonprofit to B-corp does have a bit of a behind-the-scenes feel. --- Another big shot drama... This incident reflects that the governance logic of Web3 hasn't been fully understood yet. --- Transparency is indeed a pain point. Even at the foundation level, changing the structure can cause such chaos. What about the subsequent projects? --- Basically, once the founder leaves, the remaining people are either fighting for power or rushing to cash out... Nothing new. --- If Musk were excluded, in Web3 it would be directly decided by DAO voting. The traditional tech circle is just a one-man show.
