For the billionth time already, socialism is not "when the government does it." Using the government to increase your capital and become even richer is standard capitalism.

Altman is not now and will not ever relinquish any means of production he own to the workers.

Altman may not be an altruist but the overall direction the organization takes is what matters in the end. And as long as that organization retains even a semblance of a non-profit (despite having a revenue centric approach to tackle competition in the field), it is still a preferable organization to Anthropic and Amodei.

Well, OpenAI workers do own shares. Tech companies are significantly more socialist than any other large scale enterprises in modern history (I don't know enough about pre-modern history to say).

That is not socialism.

Workers owning the means of production, and shares are ownership. So yes it is (one form of) socialism.
