Assertion Supported

Chamath: Elon Musk was instrumental in recruiting Ilya Sutskever to OpenAI

“They used his name pretty aggressively to get more money, and he was very instrumental in getting some of the early critical hires, particularly Ilya, which has been, I think, well-documented, to leave Google, right?”

Jan 23, 2026 positive

Assertion Not checkable as stated

Feldman: Sam Altman and Ilya Sutskever accurately predicted current AI in 2015
