You can have an arbitrarily low opinion of Trump and still trust in democracy as a form of government over autocracy or oligarchy, which is what the AI labs have.

Exactly. No matter how bad Trump is, millions of American people at least voted / vouched for him. Nobody voted for Elon Musk, Sam Altman, or any other CEO to have as much power as they have. Maybe a handful of shareholders. Totally unelected and unapproved by the public, but run companies that affect most of the public's lives.
