Altman’s remarks in his tweet drew an overwhelmingly negative reaction.

“You’re welcome,” one user responded. “Nice to know that our reward is our jobs being taken away.”

Others called him a “f***ing psychopath” and “scum.”

“Nothing says ‘you’re being replaced’ quite like a heartfelt thank you from the guy doing the replacing,” one user wrote.

I don't think Trump is trying to do anything. There is a state that has an interest in wrecking the economy to reestablish power over a region that has become less and less manageable by a central authority like the US government. When that happens Sam Altman and many others will be put on trial to make an example and show the rest who's the boss.
