President Trump says the Justice Department was prepared to lock up the head of a major AI company over AI-related misconduct. According to @KobeissiLetter, Trump described confronting the executive directly, telling him to get ready for jail and to see his wife and children first, because he was going the next morning.
Then the story turned. Trump says the man "totally changed everything," and the jail threat disappeared. No arrest followed.
Trump is refusing to identify the person. He gave no company name, no details on the alleged offense and no timeline for when the episode happened, leaving the AI industry guessing about who almost landed behind bars.
