Idiots: “Sam Altman was fired because of Super AI for some reason”
Normal people: “OpenAI now has several lawsuits that might make a impossible to monetize without being forced to pay billions and it’s doubtful that Sam told Microsoft before he sold his chat bot that he was stealing author’s works”
Microsoft has always wanted to keep him. The OpenAI board fired him for ideological reasons/power struggle, realized they would be killing the entire company, and decided to salvage the company even at the cost of their jobs.

And that explains why he’s now back? And has had MS’s support the entire time?
Well, it was either fire him and lose all your money by losing your employees or keep him and try to salvage what you can.
