Get Sam Altman on My First Million

Sam Altman is at the white‑hot center of AI right now, with a federal judge on January 8, 2026 clearing Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI and Altman to go to a jury trial in March. That means anything he says today about OpenAI’s mission, governance, and its Microsoft partnership will shape headlines and investor sentiment in real time.

Since launching GPT‑5 in August, Altman has doubled down on scale, signaling OpenAI will prioritize growth even at a loss and plotting an unprecedented infrastructure push measured in the hundreds of billions. He reportedly declared a “code red” in December to accelerate ChatGPT improvements amid intensifying rivalry, so MFM’s builder audience can press him on where the opportunities and threats are right now.

Altman has not appeared on My First Million before based on the public episode feed, which makes this a rare chance to ask the most consequential operator in tech the questions only founders would ask. If you care about how AI will rewrite startups, jobs, and capital flows this quarter, support this nomination today.
