I don't think this is true. He strikes me as a person motivated by curiosity and interesting problems.

As a OpenAI founder he already is long past the point of money being a consideration.

It's the only way he could get more tokens beyond the Max 20x plan lol.

Come on, he definitely has more money than he needs given his past employers. For someone with his creative output, he probably just enjoys having an environment to build and explore.

True.
