🚨BREAKING: The CEO of the most valuable private company in history is being sued by his own sister for s*xual abuse.
A judge just allowed the case to move forward.
Annie Altman filed an amended lawsuit on April 1, 2026 in St. Louis federal court accusing her brother Sam Altman of sexually abusing and raping her between 1997 and 2006. She says the abuse started when she was 3 years old and he was 12.
A judge dismissed the original claims because the statute of limitations expired in 2008. But he allowed her to refile under Missouri's Childhood Sexual Abuse law. She did. The case is now active.
Sam Altman denied everything. Called it extortion. Filed a defamation countersuit against his own sister based on social media posts she made between 2021 and 2024. His family says she has mental health challenges.
Annie posted videos saying she was "touched by older siblings" and that "an almost tech billionaire" molested her. The judge said those statements make it reasonable to infer she meant Sam Altman.
This is the same man whose own board of directors fired him in 2023. Former board member Helen Toner said two senior executives came forward with screenshots and documentation. They used the words "psychological abuse." Said he was lying and manipulating people. Said they had no belief he could change.
The board fired him secretly because they knew he'd try to undermine them. He came back five days later. Employees were told either Sam comes back or the company dies.
This wasn't his first time. The management team at his first startup Loopt went to the board twice asking to fire him for "deceptive and chaotic behavior." He was reportedly pushed out of Y Combinator too.
Every safety leader who clashed with him left. Musk. Sutskever. Amodei. When Jan Leike resigned he said "safety culture has taken a backseat to shiny products."
OpenAI was forcing departing employees to sign agreements saying if they ever criticize the company they lose all their equity. Millions of dollars. When it leaked Altman said he didn't know. The CEO didn't know what was in his own exit contracts.
He asked Scarlett Johansson to voice ChatGPT. She said no. Twice. They made a voice that sounded just like her anyway. Altman tweeted "her" on launch day. She had to hire lawyers to get them to stop.
Forbes says he's worth $3.3 billion. The Musk trial starts April 27. His sister's case is now active. His own board fired him for lying. His own executives called it psychological abuse.
And this is the guy the world is trusting with AI.
Trump is ranting about hairspray “destroying the ozone” like it’s still 1975.
CFCs were banned decades ago.
Modern aerosols aren’t the problem.
This man is governing off expired talking points and half-remembered cable news from 50 years ago.
And somehow we’re supposed to trust him with the future.
What a joke.
Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.
Republican caller reacts to Kid Rock's halftime show:
"I flipped to it for about 10 or 15 seconds and all it was some song trying to rile up the MAGA base. Not all republicans support Donald Trump."
US airlines had gone 16 years without fatal crashes.
Then MAGA fired the FAA chief, gutted the Aviation Security Advisory Committee, and threatened air traffic controllers with layoffs.
Now there have been two fatal crashes.
Hope your unvetted 22-year-olds fix things fast.
The world’s richest man who no one elected just walked into the US Treasury, stole your Social Security number, and Trump let him. You deserve to know why this is happening - call your member of Congress and Senators (202) 224-3121 and ask why.
This is 4 days in a row now in America.
3 out the 4planes have crashed, the 4th injured 40+ people.
You really don’t need to be a ‘Conspiracy Theorist’ right now to know this isn’t normal.
This is an excellent summary of Musk’s takeover of the Treasury from @NYMag’s @chasdanner, with quotes from WSJ, NYT, WaPo, and my op-ed from @MSNBC yesterday.
But this quote from @smotus is right on the money. This isn’t efficiency. It’s a coup.

The owner of this media platform spent a quarter of a billion dollars to elect the president and is now in control of all our private information and how our tax dollars are spent.
Let’s hear it for free speech!
@kyledcheney Pretty bad first day for the new press secretary. Being completely in the dark on one of the most sweeping pieces of executive action ever, and then not being able to tell the truth about it, is not a great way to start on credible footing.
BREAKING NEWS:
A passenger jet collided midair with a black hawk helicopter and crashed into the Potomac River in a mass casualty event in Washington DC.
Just last week, Trump FIRED the heads of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Coast Guard, and disbanded the Aviation Security Advisory Committee.
the whole narrative that the ban is staged and a setup for trump to be the savior after taking office while being the person who created the initial ban is 100% true. messaging from tiktok is blatantly unprofessional and a charade.
Trump hated TikTok (because China) until it helped him win an election (as even he acknowledges) and now he’s going to save it and take a victory lap. So he’ll have X, TikTok, Insta, and Facebook all working on his behalf. That’s a big difference between now and 2017.
So it's dangerous for China to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps.
But it's okay for America's billionaires to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps.
Do I have this right?
