KEY POINTS
- ā¢Larry Summers announced his resignation from the OpenAI board on November 18, 2025, following new Epstein revelations.
- ā¢A House panel published years of Epstein-Summers email exchanges, including Summers asking for relationship advice.
- ā¢Pressure from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers urged institutions to cut ties with Summers after the leaks.
- ā¢OpenAI officially respected Summers' decision and thanked him for his contributions and unique board perspective.
In a plot twist worthy of a political thriller, Larry Summers, former Treasury secretary and Harvard president, dropped his OpenAI board seat on November 18, 2025, as fresh Jeffrey Epstein emails surfaced. Among the gems: Summers seeking 'dating advice' from Epstein, the ultimate wingman. The timing couldn't be better, with both Democrats and Republicans suddenly united in telling businesses to sever ties with Summers faster than you can say 'conflicted economist.' OpenAI politely accepted his exit, thanking him for his 'many contributions' ā we assume they mean his email entertainment value rather than central AI strategy.
