Amazon to Donate $1 Million to Trump's Inauguration, Stream Event on Prime Video
Dec 13, 2024, 02:05 AM
Amazon, led by its founder Jeff Bezos, plans to donate $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration fund, marking a significant shift in the relationship between tech giants and the incoming administration. This move follows a similar contribution from Meta, indicating a broader effort by Silicon Valley to mend ties with Trump, who has historically been critical of big tech companies. Amazon will also provide an in-kind donation by streaming the inauguration on its Prime Video service, valued at an additional $1 million. Bezos is expected to meet with Trump in person at Mar-a-Lago next week, signaling a more conciliatory approach from the tech mogul who has previously clashed with Trump over various issues, including The Washington Post's coverage. This donation aligns with a trend where corporations contribute to presidential inaugurals, though exceptions exist, like when President-elect Barack Obama refused corporate donations in 2009.
