Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.’s chief will not be attending President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, skipping a high-profile ceremony likely to feature a panoply of tech industry luminaries.
The world’s largest chipmaker won’t be making a donation either, because it prefers to stay under the radar, Chief Executive Officer C.C. Wei said Thursday. Asked about making a contribution or his possible attendance, Wei said, “We keep a low profile, so to both questions the answer is no.”
