- frozencell 3y agoNo, it's the research founding team mostly. The most important was the business team: Sam Altman, Reid Hoffman, Jessica Livingston, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Microsoft with their Azure supercomputers. Edit: the only supercomputer industry in Europe was developed by France's first* president Charles De Gaulle (plan Calcul) for their country military or civil nuclear strategy which the US deep state did not like very much. A French president unilaterally killed this plan Calcul under US advice and sold Bull to American company (Honeywell) despite the opportunity to merge Bull with a few European computer giants.
