 If I would take a wild guess I would say it’s Satya. Since they are now close friends with OpenAI, I can see a reason to not include them in these emails.

Not because there is anything bad in there, just to protect the Microsoft stock.

 Yeah, I genuinely have no idea. I'm not very well educated about who's involved with who when it comes to the OpenAI stuff.

 I’ve actually, genuinely started to wonder is Elon Musk is a sociopath.
i don’t say that to be mean, or out of pop culture Elon hate. I mean it in the clinical way. It would explain some of his flexible morality and changing stories while seeming so believable. I don’t know. Just wondering if it’s the case.

 Maybe this is a bad opinion to have, but I've always kind of thought that you can't really make billions without being slightly sociopathic.
