Replying to a post by Altman on social media platform X, Ashneer Grover asked the former OpenAI CEO to continue his “fight” for the truth, sharing that he is going through a similar thing here in India, referring to his hasty exit from digital payment platform BharatPe.

Altman took to X (formerly Twitter) after his dismissal from the top post and wrote, “If i start going off, the openai board should go after me for the full value of my shares.”

Grover replied to Altman’s post and said, “Dude – fight on. The Board has tried to go after my shares – got nothing – so they are now going after me and my family through criminal cases. It’s a long fight ! With you !!”

The former BharatPe MD also said, “Sam – I am going through the same things in India. First they come after your role / shares – then they come after you personally. It’s a long fight ! Stick on !! It’s a template now of the startup Boards and investors globally – all ego – no intellect. People are smart enough to see through.”

Why was Sam Altman fired from OpenAI?

Sam Altman was fired as the CEO of OpenAI after the ChatGPT maker expressed a lack of confidence in his abilities to lead the firm. In an official statement, OpenAI’s board said that Altman’s dismissal “follows a deliberative review process.”

The firm’s board concluded that Altman was “not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities.”

Ashneer Grover faced a similar fate when the board members of BharatPe accused him and his wife of misappropriating company funds, prompting the entrepreneur to step down from his position after a monetary fraud criminal case.
