Sam Altman, OpenAI's CEO, seems determined to out-brownnose Musk as he tries to become Trump's favorite AI bro




Sam Altman
@sama

watching @potus more carefully recently has really changed my perspective on him (i wish i had done more of my own thinking and definitely fell in the npc trap).

i'm not going to agree with him on everything, but i think he will be incredible for the country in many ways!

By saying he previously "fell in the npc trap" he's using a rightwing term insulting liberals - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPC_(meme) - as people who can't think for themselves, as RWers supposedly can.

It's important to note that Sam's posting that Trump will be "incredible for the country in many ways" after all of the horrors of recent weeks.

His kissing Trump's ass hasn't won him the support of Trump and Musk supporters like Mike Cernovich, who immediately attacked him for having supported media and individuals critical of Trump.

And Sam further alienated those who oppose Trump:











EDITING to add - after skimming Elon Musk's posts over the last several hours - that Musk is posting attacks on Altman and reposting other people's attacks on him, especially those from Cernovich.
