In a surprising move, Amazon.com Inc. has announced plans to contribute $1 million to United States President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration, according to the Wall Street Journal.

This news follows Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' recent praise for Trump's "extraordinary comeback" after his election victory. Bezos' alignment with Trump was further highlighted when his newspaper, The Washington Post, chose not to endorse US Vice President Kamala Harris for president, despite traditionally endorsing Democrats.

Adding to the intrigue, Meta Platform Inc. also pledged $1 million to Trump's inaugural fund. This donation was reported shortly after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg privately met with Trump. Both Amazon and Meta's contributions signal a significant shift in corporate America's stance towards the incoming administration.
