A number of tech executives are planning to attend Donald Trump's presidential inauguration this month, in a sign that the industry is looking to strengthen ties with the new administration. Sam Altman, OpenAI chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, Meta chief executive, and Dara Khosrowshahi, Uber chief executive, have all confirmed their participation. Brian Armstrong, chief executive of Coinbase Global Inc., has been invited to inauguration-related events, including the presidential dinner, Coinbase said. In addition to Altman, Greg Brockman, president of OpenAI, and Kevin Weil, chief product officer, are also scheduled to attend the inauguration. In addition, Meta and Amazon have donated $1 million each to the Trump Inauguration Fund and moved to more platform-friendly rules by making policy changes such as weakening content moderation. Altman personally donated $1 million to the Trump Inauguration Fund and said that at a critical time for the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI), new policy partnerships are essential.
