In the wake of the highly discussed conclusion of the OpenAI episode, Elon Musk, the owner of X, waded into the controversy involving Annie Altman, the sister of Sam Altman, who in 2021 accused both her brother Sam Altman and Jack Altman of various forms of mistreatment encompassing "sexual, physical, emotional, verbal, and financial abuse."
Ashley St. Clair, a prominent figure in the conservative movement, took to X to express her astonishment: "It's puzzling that while numerous media outlets extensively covered allegations against Russell Brand as a predator, there's a notable absence of coverage on the accusations made by Sam Altman's sister, Annie. Odd, isn't it?"
Elon Musk, the owner of X, interjected, stating: "Russell Brand is viewed as a threat by the mainstream media, whereas Sam isn't."
St. Clair further articulated her concerns, expressing that while she believes a trial by the media is unjust, the lack of attention given to the allegations by Annie Altman is disconcerting.
In September, comedian Russell Brand faced allegations of sexual assault by four women. He vehemently denies these claims, asserting that all his relationships were consensual. Subsequently, Brand faced professional consequences as his talent agent dropped him, and his publisher terminated their association. Additionally, several live performances were canceled.
Back in November 2021, Annie Altman took to Twitter, alleging a range of abuses from her siblings, primarily from Sam Altman, urging others to come forward for legal justice, future safety, and collective healing.
March of this year saw a post from Annie Altman's account, @phuckfilosophy, where she stated, "I’m no longer a four-year-old with a 13-year-old 'brother' climbing into my bed without consent (You’re welcome for helping you figure out your sexuality)." She continued, "I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that you've always been, and will always be, more afraid of me than I've ever been of you."
Simultaneously, reports circulated about a secretive AI endeavor named 'Q' (pronounced Q-Star) within OpenAI, posing potential threats to humanity. Speculation arose that this undisclosed AI project might have been a pivotal factor leading to Sam Altman's removal as CEO, according to a Reuters report citing insider sources.
