    • OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and the White House are in ongoing talks about a possible government stake in the company, CNBC confirmed.
    • The AI startup could donate equity to the U.S. government to seed something like the “Public Wealth Fund” that the company outlined in its April policy proposal, according to a source familiar with the discussions.
    • The talks have been in progress for more than a year, as Altman first shared the idea with the Trump administration in 2025, the person said.

    This follows the model.

    Privatise profits.

    Public (Govt) pick up the losses.

    The scale is getting larger and the cliff higher.

    Win win for Ponzi Markereers and Spruikers.

    Lose Lose for Democracy, as it is "played".
