As far as I can tell his tenure was marked by interpersonal conflict with most of the key players, after which he was suddenly fired amid allegations he was using his role as head of a non profit to advance his own personal interests.
This is inside baseball. Nobody other than us care about the inner workings.
At the end of the day he is responsible for building a $100b business, with a product users love, that has attracted developers in droves and built a highly successful partnership with Microsoft.
And pretty sure the direction of the company is what the issue was. Not any side projects.
He didn't built OpenAI, which he wasn't a founder of either. By the time he came on as CEO in 2019, they had already built GPT-2, and GPT-3 was likely already well on its way, as it would be released only around a year later.
OpenAI obviously.
You can't argue that the company has not been impressively run and not just because of the quality of the models.

He wasn't technically a founder but was there since day one:
