This is the best summary I could come up with:

In one of the fastest-moving news stories in recent memory, there have been several substantial developments since the announcement that the OpenAI board of directors staged a 21st-century coup, kicking out the face of the company Sam Altman.

In the last few hours, The Verge gave us all whiplash with the quite head-turning report that Sam Altman is in talks to return as CEO of OpenAI.

Satya Nadella has to correct this as soon as possible so that the Microsoft share prices, which are now completely intertwined with the fate of ChatGPT and OpenAI, don't nosedive.

There are now updates from Bloomberg's @emilychangtv on X (Twitter) stating that Satya Nadella is involved in the talks to reinstate Sam Altman.

OpenAI was already losing ground as Google Bard and xAI's Grok gained momentum, and this choice couldn't have come at a worse time, especially for Microsoft.

And if there is anything I have learned through the last 18 months of court battles as Microsoft fought governments in acquiring Activision, Blizzard, and King, I would always rather have Satya Nadella fighting for me than against me.
