There's certainly a part of me that wonders if Altman incorrectly assumes last year's rules still apply, when in fact he just ensured retribution from the man who counts all three branches of the United States government as his underlings.
- Trasmatta 2y agoWell, I certainly hope people like sama are still willing to push back, and don't just bend the knee immediately to President Musk. Surely there's at least one or two people out there in Silicon Valley that still have a backbone.
- SiempreViernes 2y agoIt's a sad state of affairs when the hope is that Elon's illegal ravaging is stopped by Sam Altman.
- Trasmatta 2y agoI think Sam is at least stubborn and willing to be ruthless, so I feel like he's a good person to stand his ground
- NomDePlum 2y agoIs that not the exact same argument people make for Musk? Not that I agree with that position either, but interesting how those traits appear to be perceived positively now by some.
- avgd 2y agoIt's the kind of trait you perceive positively when they are applied against people you dislike, and you perceive negatively when they are used against you.
- azemetre 2y agoDon't be so glum, some of us like watching the rich eat each other for a change.
- silisili 2y agoThere's a difference between saying no and poking the bear. The reply was essentially a middle finger. A simple thanks but not at this time, or no reply at all, would probably have been a safer move. As CEO of a company, you should probably put said company's safety above pride. My .02.
- Trasmatta 2y agoThat's not how you deal with Elon "Go Fuck Yourself, Bob" Musk.

- kntx 2y agoMicrosoft is the most influential business wise, and they did not align themselves with the new administration.
- ketlag 2y agoMicrosoft very much has. They've done a good job staying away from the photo-ops. https://www.semafor.com/article/01/15/2025/trump-musk-dined-with-microsoft-ceo-satya-nadella-at-mar-a-lago https://www.semafor.com/article/01/15/2025/trump-musk-dined-...

- tanaros 2y agoI mean, Altman also wrote this (https://x.com/sama/status/1882234406662000833 https://x.com/sama/status/1882234406662000833): > 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!
