I think the hearts on Twitter was supposed to be a show of power on Sam's side. I wouldn't be surprised if that number is >20% of employees

That number is 91 employees out OAI's 700. Seems like a pretty reasonable number of people to support Sam's faction, but absolutely recoverable for OAI even if every single heart leaves.

91 declared out of 700. Which is actually surprisingly high and which, given that these people are actively speaking out against their employer indicates that that faction is probably a lot larger than those 91, but those may have good reasons to play it safe for now rather than to risk backing the losing side.

You were right, it's much higher, nearly every employee now. I don't see a viable path forward for the Board at this point.

Props to you. No, but mysteriously they are somehow still clinging to their seats. It makes you wonder what the hell is going on, and not a peep from the 'new CEO' either besides his initial vapid tweet.
