The decision to take Altman back might have been triggered by a remarkable show of loyalty from OpenAI employees, with the vast majority of them signing an open letter threatening to depart for Microsoft, along with Altman.

Adding an intriguing layer to the unfolding corporate narrative, Ripple CTO David Schwartz shared his perspective on social media. Schwartz noted the remarkable loyalty Altman commands within his team, describing it as a mix of substantial personal and team allegiance.

Injecting a touch of humor into the unfolding drama, Schwartz initially teased his followers by playfully announcing himself as the new OpenAI CEO in a tweet. However, as news of Altman's return broke, Schwartz continued the jest, posting that he was resigning as CEO due to the board's alleged lack of transparent communication.
