Elizabeth Warren vs. AI Bailouts: Taxpayers on Speed Dial

KEY POINTS

•Senator Elizabeth Warren sent a letter in November 2025 to White House advisors about potential AI bailouts.
•OpenAI asked to expand a semiconductor tax credit to fund AI data centers despite CEO Sam Altman’s bailout denials.
•AI firms like OpenAI and Anthropic have invested billions, but questionably high risk raises bailout red flags.
•The Trump administration must reply by December 1st, 2025, on any plans for government support for AI companies.

Senator Elizabeth Warren, ever on high alert for taxpayer wallets under attack, is poking the Trump White House hard about covert AI bailout plans. Her letter to David Sacks and Michael Kratsios—yes, those exact blockchain-sounding names—calls out Trump for cozying up to AI bigwigs while taxpayers might get stuck paying the tab. Warren references the October OpenAI letter asking to stretch a semiconductor tax credit to AI servers, despite CEO Sam Altman’s 'not looking for a bailout' fence-walking last week. Meanwhile, AI startups like OpenAI and Anthropic are throwing billions into data centers with returns about as reliable as a fintech startup’s moral compass. The deadline for Trump’s folks to respond is December 1st, 2025, so apparently everyone’s clearing their calendar.
