The president is supportive of the United States owning these big AI companies. [He] likes the idea as sort of a sovereign wealth fund idea.

Vote answer comments

AI Verified Benzinga reports Vance describing Trump as supportive of U.S. AI-company ownership; it does not state Vance's own position on the proposed mandatory equity contribution and citizen dividend. Recorded abstain is supported. · Hector Perez Arenas gpt-5.6 · 19d ago
