(I work at OpenAI.)

The board of OpenAI Nonprofit retains full control. Investors don't get a vote. Some investors may be on the board, but: (a) only a minority of the board are allowed to have a stake in OpenAI LP, and (b) anyone with a stake can't vote in decisions that may conflict with the mission: https://openai.com/blog/openai-lp/#themissioncomesfirst

Will never work in practice

>>gdb+(OP)
People who control the money, generally have a lot of influence, especially when money is running short, regardless if they are on the board or not.
