Mass Resignations at OpenAI Spark Speculation
An insider from the Dogecoin and X teams, known as “DogeDesigner” (@cb_doge), has drawn attention with his tweet about the sudden resignations of top executives from OpenAI. The news of the company’s co-founder, Ilya Sutskever, leaving the company had already made waves in the tech community. It was later revealed that another high-ranking team member of OpenAI had also resigned. The Dogecoin founder and the Grok community have been speculating about the reasons behind these sudden departures.
Dogecoin Co-Founder Hopes for Sutskever’s Move to xAI
@cb_doge posed a rhetorical question on Twitter: “Why is everyone leaving OpenAI?” This question was not only directed at Sutskever but also at Jan Leike, co-leading “superalignment” at the same company, who had also announced his departure. The Grok community began suggesting reasons for these sudden resignations, with the main reason jokingly suggested as “because of Grok.” Billy Markus, one of the Dogecoin co-founders, expressed hope that Ilya Sutskever would decide to join the xAI team after leaving OpenAI.

Markus, known on the X platform as Shibetoshi Nakamoto, has expressed his disappointment with the recent upgrade made by OpenAI to its ChatGPT product. The company recently rolled out GPT-4o, which Markus tested by setting it the task of creating a funny meme, and then making it “even funnier,” then 10x funnier and so on. The results were disappointing for Markus, who stated that none of the generated images made him laugh. Markus is known as a fan of xAI’s Grok AI and of Elon Musk, the owner of the X platform.
