💼 OpenAI May Grant 5% Stake to Trump Administration
The company is negotiating to provide the Trump administration with a 5% stake, valued at approximately $42.6 billion. The proposed scheme involves creating a state fund modeled after the Alaska Permanent Fund, allowing citizens to receive dividends from AI growth.
🌍 This creates a precedent for direct state participation in the equity of private AI giants and could change industry regulatory strategies.
👤 AI technologies could become a national strategic asset, leading to stricter controls over the release of new models.
