Now you have me interested, who could that one person be? Charles Koch? Henry Kissinger? Because many of those I would normally have guessed are either in the article as possible collaborator (middle-easter connection) or is already an investor (like Elmo). Honestly, who is too ethically different here and yet still within the anglosphere to be considered a board member?

- VectorLock 3y ago"Ethical grounds" read: has them.
- someperson 3y agoHenry Kissinger is 100 years old
- bmitc 3y agoIt's a joke. The explanation is that who would have to have worse morals and ethics than Altman for Altman to dismiss considering them on those grounds.
