Amazon plans to donate $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration fund, matching a similar contribution made by Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram. Jeff Bezos, Amazon's founder who had previously clashed with Trump, is expected to meet with the president-elect at Mar-a-Lago next week. In addition to the cash donation, Amazon will provide a $1 million in-kind contribution by streaming the inauguration through its Prime Video service. This move marks Meta's first-ever contribution to an inauguration fund and reflects efforts by tech giants to build closer relationships with the incoming administration.
