Comparison of OpenAI's profit claims for 2015 and 2025, with a Community Note correction on financial reality
Overview
A Twitter/X screenshot of a meme posted by user Hesam (@Hesamation) featuring a two-panel comparison of OpenAI's perceived profit. The left panel shows a person in a green shirt with the text 'OpenAI 2015: Profit - $0', while the right panel shows the same person in a formal suit with 'OpenAI 2025: Profit - $0,000,000,000' (humorously implying zero profit). Below the meme, a proposed Community Note is displayed, stating: 'It's not true. Despite high revenues — ~$20 billion annually at the end of 2025 — OpenAI is not making zero profit, but negative profit. Forecasts predict a loss of $140 billion between 2024 and 2029.' The note includes source links to cnnbc.com and futurism.com dated November 6, 2025.
Origin notes
The image is a screenshot from Twitter/X (formerly Twitter) posted by user Hesam (@Hesamation), who explicitly states they did not create the meme ('idk who made this'). The meme appears to be an edited collage combining two images of Sam Altman (OpenAI CEO) with overlaid text. The Community Note feature, specific to Twitter/X, provides factual correction by citing financial forecasts from reputable sources. The timestamp in the source links suggests circulation around November 6, 2025.
