Sam Altman, CEO of ChatGPT maker OpenAI to donate $1 million to Donald Trump’s inaugural fund

As reported by Fox News, Sam Altman, CEO of ChatGPT maker OpenAI, has pledged $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration fund. This contribution solidifies Altman’s commitment, aligning with other tech industry leaders who are stepping up to support the incoming administration’s mission to maintain America’s dominance in artificial intelligence (AI).

In a powerful statement, Altman expressed his confidence in the nation’s prospects under President Trump’s leadership in the AI sector. “President Trump will lead our country into the age of AI, and I am eager to support his efforts to ensure America stays ahead,” he declared.

Importantly, this financial commitment comes from Altman’s personal funds, not from OpenAI, the organization he represents. His move is in line with recent $1 million donations from other technology giants, including Mark Zuckerberg of Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) and Jeff Bezos of Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN). These strategic contributions by influential tech leaders aim to establish strong relations with President Trump as he prepares to take office.

Furthermore, it’s essential to highlight that Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), a key player in the tech landscape, has made substantial investments in OpenAI, reinforcing the significance of these industry dynamics.
