      I would hope that exceptional individuals would work wherever they choose. In most cases the folks who stick with non-profits like that they're working for a non-profit, even though the financial rewards are smaller than industry.

        People will generally go where they are paid the most, especially when choosing between two companies both working on very exciting AI projects such as Tesla and OpenAI. And Elon is setting (or at least influencing) what both companies are willing to offer him.

          OpenAI is not a company. It is a non-profit.
