This is the second attack on Altman's home in less than three days.

On April 10, a Texas-based man named Daniel Alejandro Moreno-Gama allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail at the metal gate of his property.

The fire was put out by security guards and the entire incident was captured on camera.

Shortly after this incident, OpenAI's headquarters security staff contacted someone matching Moreno-Gama's description who had made threats about the building before being arrested by police.
