The wildest coup in Silicon Valley's history just took place over the last 48 hours.
OpenAI booted CEO Sam Altman, nearly hired him back, then went with 2 other CEOs.
Sam Altman has now been scooped up as an employee by Microsoft, OpenAI's biggest investor.
Sam Altman had met with world leaders, including British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, in London earlier in the month.
But Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has not let a good crisis go to waste.
