Incentive to Support Sam Altman's Return

The scenario reveals an interesting dynamic where the support for Sam Altman's return was fueled not only by personal admiration but also by a significant financial incentive. Employees were eagerly waiting for a private stock sale worth $86 billion, and when Altman was removed, the value seemed at risk. This led to a strong campaign within the company for Altman's reinstatement, possibly driven by the desire to secure the lucrative stock options rather than sheer support for Altman.
