SPRING, Texas — An authorized raid is being conducted on a Spring, Texas-area home connected to the throwing of an explosive at an artificial intelligence company CEO’s home over the weekend, the FBI said on Monday morning.
The Montgomery County, Texas constable said the scene is linked to an earlier report from sister station, KGO, which reported that a 20-year-old suspect was arrested Saturday for throwing a Molotov cocktail at the San Francisco home of Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI.
