>Sam Altman, president of YCombinator until 2019, who donated $1 million to Donald Trump's inauguration fund

That's protection money, though trump so far hasn't demonstrated to be particularly worried about honoring those payments.

Hear me out: Altman is signing deals with the pentagon and AWS (government sector) in the last thirty days or so. And blacklisting competitors (Anthropic). I’d say the protection money paid dividends.
