Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has doubled his investment in USAFacts, a non-profit initiative aimed at promoting civic engagement and transparency, to $40 million. Ballmer, whose wealth has skyrocketed due to Microsoft’s AI-fueled stock surge, believes in the power of data to combat political misinformation and empower voters. His commitment comes at a critical time ahead of the 2024 US presidential election, which is seen as pivotal for the future of American democracy.
