Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google has this to say:

Sam Altman is a hero of mine. He built a company from nothing to $90 Billion in value, and changed our collective world forever. I can't wait to see what he does next. I, and billions of people, will benefit from his future work- it's going to be simply incredible. Thank you @sama for all you have done for all of us.

Making such a statement before knowing what happened, or, maybe he does know what happened, make this seem it might not be as bad as we think?

It's possible for our heroes to fall from grace. There's nothing wrong with Eric saying this without knowing the full story.

idk, it seems a lot smarter to me to keep one's mouth shut or express a general level of surprise without making a public endorsement until facts become clearer.

Why? If something bad comes out about Sam Altman, no one is going to criticise Eric Schmidt for not having foresight of it.
