Google and Microsoft have each donated $1 million to Donald Trump's inauguration fund, following donations by other major tech companies like Amazon and Meta. Google's involvement includes streaming the event on YouTube, reinforcing that the tech giant has consistently supported presidential inaugurations in the past.
The inauguration fund has reached a record $170 million in donations, showcasing a vast difference compared to Joe Biden's $63 million in 2021 and highlighting tech giants’ attempt to cultivate favor with Trump.
Despite a historically rocky relationship with Trump, marked by his accusations of political bias against tech firms, major companies have stepped up their contributions to ensure a strong presence and influence in the upcoming era of Trump's potential second term.
These financial commitments from major corporations signal an effort to reconcile with Trump, as he has previously targeted them for perceived biases, indicating a complex dynamic between power, politics, and financial support.
