Altman's court hearing reveals "Plan B": Considered running for California governor during his 2023 ousting period
According to Beating Monitoring, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman personally confirmed a highly dramatic Silicon Valley rumor during a courtroom showdown with Elon Musk: during his brief removal by his own board in 2023, he had considered “running for Governor of California” as his next fallback. This power struggle at OpenAI—an incident that nearly brought the company to ruin—also nearly reshaped the landscape of U.S. politics. Based on details disclosed in court, Altman looked back on the career considerations he had at the time. He admitted that in the days when he was effectively swept out, he truly did view crossing into politics as a serious contingency plan. It was only after the OpenAI board was forced to reorganize that he abandoned this political stepping stone and chose to return to take back control.
