OpenAI proposes handing Trump administration 5% stake

OpenAI is in early discussions to offer the Trump administration a 5% stake in the company. This proposal comes as political pressure increases and the $852B organization prepares for an IPO. The potential public ownership deal aims to balance AI governance and regulatory oversight with continued innovation. Such a move could significantly influence market confidence and the dynamics of the upcoming initial public offering, potentially reshaping how the US government interacts with AI development.
