Ashneer Grover compares Sam Altman's exit to his own, gets trolled
Sam Altman after a review found he was “not consistently candid in his communications" with the board of directors. Reactions started pouring in from top leaders who came in support of Altman and praised him for his contribution to AI. Now, BharatPe's former co-founder and managing director Ashneer Grover also tweeted and compared Altman's firing situation to the one that happened with him in India.
BharatPe had sacked Grover and his wife Madhuri Jain early last year over the allegations of financial fraud. However, he later deleted it after he was trolled on social media. In a now-deleted tweet, the former BharatPe co-founder and managing director wrote, “Sam - I am going through the same things in India.
First they come after your role / shares - then they come after you personally. It’s a long fight ! Stick on !! It’s a template now of the startup Boards and investors globally - all ego - no intellect. People are smart enough to see through" Here is the screenshot of the tweet.
In his latest tweet, Grover shared list of 5 founders/co-founders who were fired by the Board members. The list included Grover himself, Sam Altman, Travis Kalanick, Adam Neumann, and Steve Jobs. Slamming the Board members, Grover said they lack ability and called them puppets of investors.
In order to comprehend boardroom dramas, Grover also recommended shows like 'WeCrashed' on Apple TV, 'SuperPumped' on Voot, and his own book ‘Doglapan’. People trolled him for drawing a similarity between the five, and to make matters worse, he also posted an incorrect image of Sam Altman, further compounding his humiliation. Commenting on his post, people also trolled him for sharing an incorrect picture of Sam Altman.
