The only power MS has is soft power as a backer. Will that win over the board's actual power? If MS pulls investment it will be a catastrophic blow.

That's the choice isn't it. Either reinstall Sam Altman and sack the board, or move the funding to whatever entity he goes and sets up next.

I've seen people say this but why would Microsoft fund a new Altman startup instead of spending that money on developing their own AI owned by Microsoft?

The moat isn’t very deep or wide here. It does exist, but most FAANG (including Microsoft) should be able to overcome it with the right investments. Microsoft is probably best positioned to leverage this tech with the integration they have been pursuing across most of their products. They have probably mage better use of “OpenAI” than any other company and are in the best position to replace them.
