OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Donates $1 Million to Trump Fund Alongside Bezos and Zuckerberg - Fox News

According to reports, OpenAI's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Sam Altman has pledged to donate $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration fund. Altman's contribution aligns with similar donations from other tech sector leaders and aims to support the incoming administration's efforts to maintain America's leadership position in artificial intelligence (AI).

In his statement, Altman expressed his expectations for the future of the AI sector under President Trump's leadership. "President Trump will propel our country into the AI era, and I am excited to support efforts to keep America at the forefront," he said.

This financial commitment is made from Altman's personal funds, rather than through OpenAI, the AI research organization he leads. This move reflects similar contributions of $1 million each from Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), led by Mark Zuckerberg, and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), under the management of Jeff Bezos, announced recently. The contributions from these leading figures in the tech industry are seen as steps to foster positive relationships as President Trump prepares for office.

Tech giant Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) has made significant investments in OpenAI.
