Musk’s team is finally landing some serious blows — namely that part of Brockman’s compensation was a grant from Altman’s family office. Musk’s adviser Jared Birchall wrote, “Greg is going to have a greater allegiance toward Sam as a result of this arrangement.” Brockman told Musk that “We ran out of YC stock fulfilling others’ offers” so Altman arranged the deal.
Molo is saying it’s a “side deal” that Musk wasn’t informed about. Except the email chain plainly says Altman informed Birchall directly, who then emailed Musk. I imagine that will come on direct. Still, the financial conflict of interest is the most undermining information I’ve seen from Musk’s team so far.
