Suppose OpenAI gave the US gov't $40 billion in equity for free.

OAI would then need to grow to a $100T valuation just for this to offset the 10 year deficit impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill (assuming no dilution).

Negative users mock the $100 trillion valuation needed for an OpenAI equity gift to the US government as wildly unrealistic and improbable.

(I don't think it sounds nice in theory, btw. I'm just saying that some might think it sounds nice in theory)

The point being that one should distinguish what sounds nice in theory from what would actually be helpful at solving problems in this particular policy environment

(P.S. $40B would be a huge amount to give! That's about a quarter of what the non-profit has been given)

@Miles_Brundage 40T equity gift just to break even on the bill math is wild

remindme when that 100T market cap materializes
