Microsoft has pledged $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration fund, joining other tech giants such as Google and Meta, which have also contributed $1 million each. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and Amazon reportedly make similar contributions. Microsoft previously donated $500,000 to Trump’s first inauguration fund and the same amount to President Joe Biden's. The company is optimistic about Trump's potential influence on artificial intelligence policy.
