Uber and its CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, have each donated $1 million to Donald Trump's inaugural fund, marking a significant political pivot given their previous $1 million donation to President Biden's inauguration. This donation represents Khosrowshahi's largest contribution to a political fund, highlighting a trend among tech giants seeking to build relationships with the new administration. Donations to inaugural committees are seen as strategic moves for businesses to establish favorable ties with incoming leadership.
Uber's decision to contribute to Trump's inauguration, alongside similar donations from companies like Meta and Amazon, suggests a larger trend among tech executives looking to align themselves with the new presidency. This pivot is especially noteworthy considering the historically fraught relationships that tech leaders have had with Trump and raises questions about how these donations might affect their standing with different political factions.
