Political Fundraiser and Business Relationships
Sam Altman, CEO of ChatGPT developer OpenAI, is set to host a fundraiser for Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) along with other notable figures. This event follows Altman's involvement in the creation of a company named 'Stargate' with Trump. Altman and Elon Musk, who co-founded OpenAI, have had a public feud, which escalated when Musk made an unsolicited offer to acquire control of OpenAI. Altman rejected this offer, leading to further tensions between the two. Despite Musk's criticisms of OpenAI, the company released a successful product called ChatGPT. Altman's fundraiser for Warner represents his first known political fundraiser since the 2022 cycle.
