OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is planning to make a $1 million personal donation to President-Elect Donald Trump’s inauguration fund, joining a number of tech companies and executives who are working to improve their relationships the incoming administration.
From Trump’s point of view, this is his new subjects lining up to pay tribute.
From the perspective of the wealthy people making these donations, it’s like stuffing a twenty dollar bill in the doorman’s breast pocket.
From everyone else’s point of view it’s also his new subjects lining up. There’s no reason to excuse these companies regardless of what percent of the bottom line a million dollars is.
It’s also obeying in advance. Altman is Jewish. Just saying.
What does him being Jewish have anything to do with it?
To the NatC’s that adore donvict it means quite a bit. The fact that he’s obeying in advance won’t mean a thing.
