"First of all, we're doing well more revenue than that. Second of all, Brad, if you want to sell your shares, I'll find you a buyer,"
"I think we could sell, you know, your shares or anybody else's to some of the people who are making the most noise on Twitter, whatever, about this very quickly,"
"One of the rare times it's appealing is when those people are writing these ridiculous 'OpenAI is about to go out of business.' I would love to tell them they could just short the stock, and I would love to see them get burned on that,"
Sam Altman pushed back on reported revenue figures, disputing a $13 billion number and saying actual revenue is higher. He offered to find buyers for shares held by critics and expressed confidence that revenue will grow steeply, ChatGPT adoption will continue, and a developing consumer device business will take off. OpenAI counts institutional backers including Altimeter Capital, which joined a $6.6 billion funding round valuing the company at $157 billion; a recent secondary sale raised the company valuation to about $500 billion. Altman said he sometimes wishes OpenAI were public so critics could short the stock and face losses.
