What to with the money of these average staffers at OpenAI? Seriously, average salary people all of a sudden, having millions of dollars by just pushing a button at their desk. Of course they had option for Stock when they signed on. They sold their stock.
I would like some honest answers from those with socialist tendencies to tell us if these people can keep their money, or at least tell us what they should do with

Yes, that is all we can hope for.... and, posts which have a beginniing, a middle and an end. Seems like you and I are the only ones who complete our thoughtful, and thought-provoking, posts which really get people thinkiing.
Like my very post here, I show the facts of the day (Not Jan 6!!! 😆 ) and look for responses of both sides as to how it can be that simple employees can cash in their stock for so much money.
Last Week, AOC said that (speaking of billionaires) 'No one can earn that much money'.
So, do you think the employees should keep the money? I am hoping for Marauder to respond.as well.

Why are you bringing up billionaires? These people aren’t billionaires.

? We conservatives NEVER bring up billionaires ...you see, we do not care if someone is a billionaire. You cannot show where we do. I bring it up, because....oh, never mind.
Hey, I am so glad you all took my advice and bought NVDIA last month at $165.00. It is $220 today. That will buy momma a new pari of shoes!!!. Or, a Soros-funded flag to wave in a street,,,,,,at somebody. Do you wave them to each other??
Me, I have never read a flag, and I have never been in a street.

So some people were lucky by joining OpenAI, getting shares and now seelling them at a large price. Congratulations.

Most probably the people at the very top were the people who
* got the most shares anyway
* were rich enough to be able to keep those shares
* and needed a 30 million cap not to sell more.


We learn: It is good if you are lucky and it helps to start being rich.

Correct on all points. Luck is a good part of what these employees chose (I love that word) to do, a bit of risk, taking stock in lieu of cash. Risk, another tenet of success.
AI is the next scenario of the future, I figure a risk there would be worth it. So, will need a bit of luck, but risk is the factor. I risked buying NVIDIA at $165, I got lucky. But not every time

Nice post

You bring up billionaire Donald Trump in every 3rd post of yours, as well as making reference to Elon Musk multiple times.

Stop lying!

Yes, I mention Trump for reasons other than how much money he has. Jesus. get a grip.
If I mention Obama or Truman, the subject matter could be anything, couldn't it.
Whew.

Hey.............how can you be so 'mean' about Trump? Check this out.

The Trump Organization typically employed roughly 22,450 people across its global operations, including construction, hospitality, and real estate. During his presidency, his administration oversaw a federal workforce of over 2 million, and his second term saw a reduction of over 300,000 federal employees by early 2026.

I am GLAD he is a billionaire. We need more billionaires. You faeries simply have no idea about this country. Shav thiinks we should have no boundaries, the Marauder wants people who work to support people who don't. So istead of your silly comment about what I wrriiiiiiiiitte about, tell us what you think about what these two want.... what THEY write about .

See??? See how you write ...(adding and modifying her comnent) "Through Work????"
Nonononononono....you should be honest, and say 'through investing'. The resulting productivity therefrom will, as they say in economics, will Lift All Boats.

NOW you get it. Or, he could send his money to the Cayman Bank and buy a yacht. Oops, look out, that means that yacht laborers will all be fired!!!

Why don't you say something that makes sense.

Money does the work? Y'all have been saying the laborers do the work. geez
