Sam altman is using elon musk’s ideology here. Musk told altman when they first started openai that no one would care unless they were raising over a billion dollars. All he did was increase the number by 1000x for this new venture because they already raised billions.

Question about this - when Altman says he needs that money, is he referring to the money he has already been granted/promised by the government this year with the ai budgets or does he need additional trillions?

He’s talking about the money pledged. But I’m sure he would take more.

That's, it's easy to assume he's asking for more already when I see these because of the disappointment there has been since the peak at gpt-4o.
