Does this count even if he founds a side company while continuing to primarily work at OpenAI?

Microsoft created a new entity for him and he maintained his CEO title. So this should count.

@BTE I am a bit hesitant to share my thoughts when the market is still open but I hope everyone who participated in this market read the description.

@JaimeSantaCruz Yeah the past 48 hours have been a crazy 🎢 I got lucky and sold my position yesterday for very wrong reasons - I thought he would prefer to build in silent mode for a couple of years after getting so much publicity the past year

Someone with access to "sources" is betting on a new Altman company "by Monday," which is a very bold prediction IMO. Though even if the time frame is off by an order of magnitude, it's still a very bullish signal:

What if he founds one in 2023? The title and the description don't match.
