Genuinely curious - what’s the comp package like for 72 hours of interim CEOing a 80b company?

Bragging rights, party invitations, and one hell of a story.

A firm handshake. They had no time to ink a benefits package, my dude.

Office 365 subscription for one year and GitHub copilot using your own creation

Irrelevant compared to the reputation boost for helping the company get itself back on track.

I don't think anybody had high expectations for him, but he really pulled through.

Doubt he took this job for financial comp so even if he got paid, it probably wasn't much.

Equity is a big part of CEO pay packages and OpenAI has weird equity structure, plus there was a very real chance OpenAI's value would go to $0 leaving whatever promised comp worthless. So Emmett likely took the job for other reasons.
