Sure, he may have support from people like yourself. However, it’s possible that many people supporting him know the full story, or may be supporting him for the wrong reasons. For instance, Sam may have been courting outside investment for OpenAI or his own ventures competing with OpenAI without disclosing it to the board. Also, people may be supporting him because of their own interests (consider Microsoft). To say that he has support from people not involved is a bit meaningless right now; and saying he has support from j side OpenAI is devoid of evidence.
His CEO replacement supports him, the chairman of the board supports him, his investors (at least Satya + Kohsla) support him, his entire org supports him. You'd expect a handful of these people not to if there was really anything there, right?
