Amazon's Generous Donation

In a recent announcement, Amazon has pledged a whopping $1 million to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's inaugural fund. This generous contribution is accompanied by an additional in-kind donation of $1 million, where Amazon will be airing the inauguration event exclusively on its Prime Video service. This strategic move not only aligns with Amazon's business interests but also underscores its commitment to political engagement.

Tech Giants Unite

Amazon joins the ranks of other tech giants, such as Meta Platforms, in supporting the Jan. 20 Trump inauguration with a $1 million donation each. This collective support from the tech industry highlights the significance of the event and the influence of these companies in the political sphere.

Bezos' Meeting with Trump

In a separate development, Jeff Bezos, Amazon's founder and executive chairman, is scheduled to meet with President-elect Trump next week. This meeting, as reported by CNBC, comes amidst Trump's criticism of the Washington Post's coverage of his first term, a publication owned by Bezos. Despite these tensions, Bezos has maintained a neutral stance, refusing to endorse any candidate in the recent presidential election, a decision he defended in an opinion piece in the Post.
