OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is scrambling to head off a backlash over the tech giant’s deal with the Pentagon — defending it in front of workers at a tense all-hands meeting on Tuesday after protesters outside its San Francisco headquarters urged employees to quit, The Post has learned. The AI company announced its deal on Friday — just hours after President Trump blasted Anthropic as “leftwing nut jobs” and ordered all federal agencies to stop working with them. The deal happened so fast – and with only vague details about its structure initially revealed – that Altman himself has admitted it was rushed.
