I was chatting with a few Chinese crypto people the other day, and the general consensus in that community seems to be that Worldcoin basically operates as an ATM for Sam Altman.

He undoubtedly owns a considerable amount, and it doesn't matter if it's a long term successful so long in the near term it has a multiplying impact on his OpenAI work. If you look at the 1 year change in WLD you see that he's likely made a pretty sum from it already, especially since whatever amount of WLD he own was acquired at effectively zero cost[0].

The people I was chatting with shared a similar view to dogecoin and Musk. All either needs to do is drive up a little hype and in to time they have access to tremendous amounts of liquidity.
