OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, a billionaire tech man, has cozied up additional to President-elect Donald Trump like, nicely, nearly every other billionaire tech guy.

Altman adopted up by writing: “it was a private contribution as you state; i’m confused in regards to the questions on condition that my firm didn’t decide.”
Altman is way from the one tech man to provide cash and/or lavish reward on Trump. As Mashable has noted in previous coverage, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, and Tesla’s Elon Musk, amongst different tech energy gamers, are all set to attend the inauguration. TikTok’s CEO went out of his approach to praise the president-elect forward of the looming ban. Just about everybody within the tech world has lurched rightward into Trump’s ready arms.
So after all Altman would troll Democrats on-line — that is precisely what people on the fitting like to do.
