The OpenAI CEO said he was proud of the steps he took during his tensions with Elon Musk to ensure the company's survival. Those efforts, he said, were central to preserving OpenAI’s independence and enabling its long-term survival as an institution. In 2018, Musk left OpenAI. It was then restructured into a “capped-profit” entity known as OpenAI LP, allowing it to raise capital more aggressively while limiting investor returns.
