Trump’s statement includes the weasel-word could at a crucial position:

“There’s a concept out there, there’s so much money and it’s so big that there are concepts where pieces could be given to the American public, where the American public essentially becomes a partner with the companies,” Trump told reporters en route to an unrelated event in Wisconsin. “I have spoken to all of them.”

That’s salestalk and means nothing.

I also still don’t understand how this is anything other than going public, buying and selling shares etc.

What profits? AI companies are burning through money like crazy.
