OpenAI’s Sam Altman cozies up to Trump by posting Democrats’ letter worrying he’s cozying up to Trump
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, a billionaire tech guy, has cozied up further to President-elect Donald Trump like, well, just about every other billionaire tech guy.
In fact, he cozied up to Trump by trolling Democrats who sent a letter over concerns that Altman was…cozying up to Trump. Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Michael Bennet sent a letter to Altman worrying he was attempting to “cozy up to the incoming Trump administration” to “avoid scrutiny, limit regulation, and buy favor.” The letter noted that Altman donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund.

How do we know about this letter? Well, Altman posted it to X, writing, “funny, they never sent me one of these for contributing to democrats…”

Altman followed up by writing: “it was a personal contribution as you state; i am confused about the questions given that my company did not make a decision.”
Altman is far from the only tech guy to give money and/or lavish praise on Trump. As Mashable has noted in previous coverage, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, and Tesla’s Elon Musk, among other tech power players, are all set to attend the inauguration. TikTok’s CEO went out of his way to praise the president-elect ahead of the looming ban. Pretty much everyone in the tech world has lurched rightward into Trump’s waiting arms.

So of course Altman would troll Democrats online — that’s exactly what folks on the right love to do.
