um, no? “The government” owning a stake in OpenAI is different from “the people” owning a stake.
How are you reading that differently?

The voter base who hates big government and communism is getting USSR-style state owned industry from its beloved leaders.
This would be hilarious if it didn’t negatively impact all the sane people who aren’t in the cult.
This is a trick to lock in "too big to fail" status and have leverage to lobby the government to ban "dangerous" Chinese models that are "robbing the taxpayer". 100% Trojan horse.
