"I love the US and its values of democracy and freedom and will be supportive of the country however I can; OpenAI will too," the OpenAI CEO wrote in an internal Slack message. "But part of loving the country is the American duty to push back against"
"Altman also praised Trump's leadership in his message and expressed hope that the president could cool tensions - the latest example of a CEO attempting to balance being critical of actions tied to the Trump administration's policies while also staying on the president's good side. "President Trump is a very strong leader, and I hope he will rise to this moment and unite the country," Altman wrote."
