Summary
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman plans to donate $1 million to Donald Trump’s inauguration fund, aligning with other tech giants like Meta and Amazon.
Altman expressed support for Trump’s AI-focused agenda to maintain U.S. leadership in the field.
This comes amid Altman’s legal dispute with Elon Musk, who is leading Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency.
Musk, a former OpenAI investor, has accused the company of abandoning its public-benefit mission.
The donation highlights tech executives’ efforts to build ties with the incoming administration.

Trumps Oligarchs, he’s just copying Putin
Precisely. It’s protection money to our future king.
lol all these tech companies really think this will stop Trump from shitting on them
This just a protection racket. Their competitors who don’t donate will be hurt first. We live under organized crime now.
Only since forever.
They’re probably right.
Trump can say he won them over and that all of our best tech companies are friends of the government and him personally (which are the same to him). That’s pretty close to Trump’s favorite thing.
Scumbags. All of them. Now not even trying to hide it. Capitalism really IS organized crime.
Oh just wait until they all start supplying trump with whatever data or tools he needs to do some really heinous shit.
Altman, Zuckerberg, Bezos (any others?) all paid exactly $1 million.
The price of keeping in the kings good graces
My guess is that Trump is collecting “protection” money. It’s not racketeering of he’s the president, right?
That’s too bad, I was a huge supporter of Open AI before thi- hahaha . . Naaaaahhhhhh nah, not really. Fuck this guy and his horrorware.
Is this to pre-buy a pardon for when he gets connected to the OpenAI whistle blower’s death?
Gross little worm.
What exactly is this inaugural fund being used for? Is it legal? They just bribing Trump with money?
Look at the missing money from his 2016 inauguration for the answer.
I don’t believe that was ever resolved, though Melania was involved somehow.
Ops AI my ass
More like open source AI and as soon as I got the free work let me steal everything for a for profit company
Fuck sam altman
Didn’t this fucked ask for 8 trillion or some shit?
Why is he donating a single mil?
What a cheap assfuck.
Booooooooo. Freaking sellouts.
Well at least these execs are becoming more charitable! And you thought they were just greedy.
