It's not a bait and switch, no matter how you spin it. It's a company, taking investment from many places, and having a board of directors. Only an idiot assumes that every piece of corporate structure exists infinitely. There is always chance any portion of the structure may change.

Being a minority investor doesn't give Musk God powers. And he resigned from the board by his own choice.

You're still not answering the question of how you feel about Altman taking the money for a noble mission of Open AI then using that money and turning it into a Closed for-profit. If that's not bait and switch then you are being biased. Do you hae shares in "Open"AI? or are you building a product based on their API, or just cheering for Altman bc of kin or political/ideological alignment?
