OpenAI President Targeted in Arson Attempt

On April 10, 2026, San Francisco police arrested a 20-year-old man for throwing a Molotov cocktail at the residence of Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI. No injuries were reported, but fears arose as threats were made towards the OpenAI headquarters. The San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) responded swiftly to calls about a fire and detained the suspect shortly after the incident, confirming it was the same individual who had threatened to set fire to another building nearby.
