Texas man charged after Molotov attack targeting OpenAI chief and HQ

A 20-year-old Texas man, Daniel Moreno-Gama, was charged with attempted damage and destruction of property by explosives and possession of an unregistered firearm after allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at Sam Altman’s San Francisco home and attempting to set fire to OpenAI’s headquarters. Authorities say he traveled from Texas, carried a self-authored anti-AI document suggesting motive, and police recovered incendiary devices, kerosene and a lighter. Prosecutors indicate the case could be treated as domestic terrorism; if convicted, he faces a mandatory minimum of five years and up to 20 years for the explosives charge and up to 10 years for the firearm charge.
