elon — wanted to give you a heads up before this hits the press tomorrow.

we are announcing OpenAI LP, a capped-profit subsidiary. the nonprofit retains control. the cap is 100x for first-round investors.

we made the decision because we cannot otherwise raise the capital we need. i wanted you to hear it from me.

This needs to be in writing that I have no financial interest in the for-profit arm of OpenAI.
