    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    In response to Altman’s departure, members of the tech community are turning to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express their shock.

    I was not expecting this atomic level bomb news today," Pietro Schirano, who claims to be a founder of an AI startup, wrote on X.

    “I didn’t not see that coming,” Matt Wolfe, who describes himself as a “builder” of an AI tools website, wrote on X.

    “Sam Altman is a hero of mine,” Eric Schmidt, the tech investor and former CEO of Google, wrote on X.

    Other big voices in tech are speculating on why the board decided it no longer had confidence in Altman’s ability to lead the company.

    “Like everyone, I have no idea the reason the board had for firing @sama this way and so suddenly,” tech journalist Kara Swisher wrote on X, speculating that the decision may’ve been personal or involve money.

      Somebody please make sure this bot keeps calling X ‘X, formerly known as twitter’. These words are too weighty to leave out

      Somebody please teach the bot to just say Twitter instead of X, formerly known as Twitter. Will save 4 words

        I would rather it add words:

        “X, formerly known as Twitter, which acts as demonstrable proof that Musk is an idiot, and should be taxed up to the hilt”

        I also feel this should be done by every news outlet.
