Whatever company invented AGI, if it ever happens, may rule the world but it won't be with money.
That doesn't matter, they know how to do LLMs, they don't know how to do AGI. To modern capitalists that means you invest in one and the other someone else can do.
OpenAI was exploratory until they found something that could make them rich, then they went closed and for profit, now you should see them as just another for profit.
