Tucker Accuses OpenAI CEO of Murder, Altman Says 'Do You Believe That?'

In a plot twist juicier than a season finale, ex-Fox News host Tucker Carlson grilled OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman about the suspicious 2024 death of former researcher Suchir Balaji. Balaji, who claimed OpenAI was stealing copyrighted data and damaging the internet, was ruled a suicide by San Francisco police despite freezer-level controversy from his mom and conspiracy boosters like Elon Musk. Tucker threw down claims about cut wires, blood in multiple rooms, and zero suicide notes—classic murder soap opera material. Altman, meanwhile, looked like he wanted to both defend and disappear, saying 'I haven’t talked to authorities' while dodging Tucker’s 'did you order the hit?' vibes.
