Apple CEO Tim Cook is set to personally donate $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump's inaugural committee, according to a report by Axios. This donation is part of a broader trend among tech industry leaders, with executives from companies such as Amazon, Meta, and OpenAI also contributing $1 million each to Trump's inauguration fund. Cook's decision to donate is seen as a reflection of his belief in the inauguration as a great American tradition and is made in the spirit of unity. Apple, however, is not expected to make a corporate donation. The contributions from tech CEOs come amidst efforts to build or maintain relationships with the incoming administration, following a period of tension during Trump's first term.
