Does OpenAI own the related intellectual property? Is there a non compete contract that he signed? This could be interesting.

Non-competes aren't a thing in California. OpenAI obviously own the IP, but that doesn't mean an investor like MS wouldn't have enough rights to effectively take it and build from it.
