Steve Ballmer has made his fortune as the former CEO of Microsoft and
owner of the LA Clippers. But his nonprofit USAFacts is trying to make
government data more consumable, a mission driven by the belief that
numbers are the antidote to political disinformation and partisan
policymaking. On POLITICO Tech, Ballmer talks with host Steven Overly
about his latest effort to convince politicians to follow the facts, as
well as artificial intelligence, the election and why he's not donating
to campaigns.
