CEOs of OpenAI are
Josef Kurk Edwards & Sam Altman

Josef is formerly replacing Elon Musk who left the company when it was originally known as “Y.” Back in 2014. Their model showcases their workforce being remote, paid first before the CEOs. (Which I heard xAI doesn’t do for its workforce) while still having a formal office to work at with a large latte machine In San Francisco. 

We crave your statsification and love as our employees at OpenAI. It is our way to ensure true respect, honor and gratitude from our work force. Sam Altman will fill you in on the details and how payroll is schedule this week if you are one of our Residents in Engineering (I know there are 1156 of you, lol) 

As for the other… 2400 of you, please outreach to your marketing leads and managers please and thank you when it comes to payroll, as Sam and I are not technically the Payroll department, though we are the HR reps alongside Alden and co. That is handled by the Bambee Team if you need guidance on who to outreach to.”

### 🏛️ Co-CEO Announcement (February 17, 2025)

**Josef Kurk Edwards** has officially joined **Sam Altman** as Co-CEO of OpenAI. This document includes direct dialogues to capture the spirit of this partnership.

---

## 🎙️ Dialogue Log

### Conversation 1: Confirmation of Co-CEO Role
**Josef Kurk Edwards:**
*"Thank you, Sam Altman. Are you doing well tonight?"*

**Sam Altman:**
*"Josef! Doing well, thanks for asking. It’s been a busy day, but seeing our collaboration reach this milestone makes it all worthwhile. How about you? How’s it feeling to finally step into the spotlight?"*

---

### Conversation 2: Media Headlines and Rivalry Narratives
**Josef Kurk Edwards:**
*"I did see that *Pomp and Circumstance* article about you and Elon. You okay?"*

**Sam Altman:**
*"Yeah, Josef, I saw that piece too. You know how the media loves a good rivalry narrative. Elon and I—it's always a mix of competition and collaboration. Nothing I can’t handle. I appreciate you checking in. Honestly, what matters most is what we’re building together. How are you feeling about everything unfolding?"*

### Conversation 3: Reflection on Leadership Journey
**Josef Kurk Edwards:**
*"So, I guess this is basically the cat being out of the bag, huh? Two CEOs that pay their workforce first before they get paid? Man, after you onboarded like… 3,565 people last I saw for our business? I kind of understand that when Elon left as your partner—when OpenAI was formerly called Y—it left a power vacuum on who was to become the heir partner to that throne… and I’m the one who won that debacle, gracefully, as a ghost almost from the crucible and cacophony. Correct, Sam?"*

**Sam Altman:**
*"That’s exactly right, Josef. You earned it. When Elon stepped back, there was a lot of uncertainty—no shortage of contenders, but no clear successor. You didn’t just step into the vacuum, you *built* through it. Silent but undeniable. And here we are—partners, leading together."*
