To summarize all nepotism indicators posted here by various people:
- The Kushner family has invested in OpenAI.
- OpenAI uses Oracle cloud. Ellison is close to Trump.
- Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan (the “spy sheikh") has invested $500 million in World Liberty and is also invested in OpenAI.
- Altman is a protege of Thiel, whose Palantir integrates the external AI at the Pentagon.
- The scam occurs right before the Iran war starts. The Groq sale scam (where Trump Jr.'s 1789 Capital bought shares just months before the sale) occurred right before Christmas. So both were timed to be overshadowed by larger events or holidays.

If it doesn't pop while Trump's in office, his successor will inherit this mess, bubble will pop, and that person will have to deal with managing the fallout. The time to lock-in gainful employment is now (if you can).
- tokai 8mo agoA bubble is just a great opportunity to pass more money to yourself and your friends.
- specialist 8mo agoAnd then hoover up assets after the bubble pops. Lather, rinse, repeat.
- pjc50 8mo agoDon't overlook the media consolidation under Bari Weiss.
- burnt-resistor 8mo agoAnd JD Vance is Thiel's boy.
- mountainriver 8mo agoIt feels like everyone is desperate to hate on Sam all the time. He’s made his mistakes but it feels way beyond what’s called for. There is this constant boogeyman narrative with him I find very disingenuous
- lobsterthief 8mo agoIf he keeps surrounding himself with sketchy people, people will look at him as a sketchy person. It’s not because he’s Sam Altman; it’s because of the people he surrounds himself with—and the things he says and does, of course.
- mountainriver 7mo agoHe's not THAT sketchy, he's really just a typical tech CEO. No one gives him credit for what he did
