Tucker Carlson asks Sam Altman if an OpenAI employee was murdered ‘on your orders’

The article discusses a recent interview between Tucker Carlson and Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI. Carlson brought up a conspiracy theory that a former OpenAI researcher, Suchir Balaji, was "definitely murdered" on Altman's orders. Balaji's death in November 2024 was ruled a suicide by the San Francisco police, but his mother believes he was murdered due to the lack of a suicide note and the findings of experts she hired. Carlson explained the reasons for his belief in the conspiracy theory, including the alleged signs of a struggle and the fact that Balaji had recently spoken out against OpenAI's alleged copyright violations. Altman responded by citing the police reports and their findings, expressing disbelief at having to defend himself against the accusations. The article also provides context on Balaji's criticism of OpenAI's technology and the differing views of intellectual property lawyers on his arguments.
