OpenAI founder to donate $1 million to Trump Inauguration Fund

According to Fox News, OpenAI founder and CEO Sam Altman will join the list of American tech giants who have donated to President-elect Trump's inauguration fund. "Trump will lead our country into the age of artificial intelligence, and I am eager to support his efforts to ensure America stays ahead," Altman said in a written statement. Altman reportedly plans to donate $1 million to the Presidential Inauguration Committee in his own name, rather than being donated directly by OpenAI. Previously, both Zuckerberg and Bezos announced a $1 million donation to the Presidential Inauguration Fund in a move purportedly intended to ease relations with the incoming president.
