Sam Altman has been fired as CEO of OpenAI, the company announced on Friday.
“Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities,” the company said in its blog post.

My guess — and this is pure conjecture — MS canned him because Bing didn't eat Google's lunch.
Allegedly MS didn't know until a few minutes before the announcement.
Microsoft doesn't have that power, and it has hurt their stock value. Their CEO's response suggests that Microsoft and other partners didn't know until everyone else did.
But they said it was because he wasn’t being totally honest with the board for OpenAI tho
