The Register covers White House discussions about taking equity in AI labs, possibly seeding a Public Wealth Fund with returns flowing to households. Neither lab is profitable, which is the part the framing keeps stressing. The concept traces to Altman's early-2025 pitch and OpenAI's April 2026 "Industrial Policy for the Intelligence Age" paper, and Trump floated it publicly June 5. Early-stage and speculative, but a government cap-table seat would reshape every incentive in the model market you build on.
