Tucker Carlson attacks Sam Altman over greed and past accusations
Tucker Carlson is going after OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, painting him as an untrustworthy figure driven by greed — bad news for Altman's public image as populist anger at Big Tech grows.
- Carlson points to accusations against Altman: a sexual assault claim from his own sister and a murder accusation from the mother of a former OpenAI employee.
- Carlson stops short of saying the claims are true, but argues they show Altman is not someone to trust with control over everyone's future.
- The bigger charge is greed: tech leaders who say they "believe in technology" are really just grabbing as much money as they can in a broken phase of capitalism.
- The attack fits a wider trend of right-wing populists turning against Silicon Valley and AI companies.
Outlook: Expect more political pressure and public scrutiny on Altman and OpenAI from both the populist right and the left as AI's power over jobs and daily life grows.
