OpenAI execs reject idea of federal support, say revenue will fund $1.4T compute bill

CNBC’s MacKenzie Sigalos reports on investor concern that OpenAI may not be able to fund its massive AI buildout after executives floated — then disavowed — the idea of U.S. government support. The company now says future revenue in the hundreds of billions will cover its $1.4 trillion in chip and compute deals, with major vendors like Oracle, Broadcom, and AMD at risk if it can’t deliver.
