It looks like another tech behemoth is donating to President-elect Trump’s inauguration, except this time it isn’t a company.
Axios is reporting that Apple CEO Tim Cook will personally donate $1 million and he’s doing it in the spirit of unity.
Here’s more:
Apple CEO Tim Cook will personally donate $1 million to President-elect Trump’s inaugural committee, sources with knowledge of the donation tell Axios.
The donation reflects a long, collaborative relationship between Trump and Cook that included many meetings during Trump’s first term, and dinner at Mar-a-Lago last month.
Other CEOs and companies have made seven-figure inauguration contributions in their efforts to build bridges to the incoming administration.
Cook, a proud Alabama native, believes the inauguration is a great American tradition, and is donating to the inauguration in the spirit of unity, the sources said. The company is not expected to give.
Cook, with a consistent presence in Washington, has made it clear over the years that he believes in participation, not sitting on the sidelines, and engaging with policymakers from both sides of the aisle.
Apple, a huge contributor to the U.S. economy, is the largest taxpayer in the U.S. and the world.
Cook also has met with Trump at Trump Tower and at his club in Bedminster, N.J.
Axios is told Elon Musk joined part of the Mar-a-Lago dinner.
Other Silicon Valley inauguration donors include Amazon, Meta, Uber and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
Wall Street’s seven-figure donors include Goldman Sachs and Bank of America, while crypto exchanges Kraken and Coinbase are also getting in on the action.
Toyota, Ford and GM are all also donating at least $1 million.
It’s really amazing to see how many of these tycoons are lining up to donate to Trump’s inauguration, especially when the media and Kamala kept claiming Trump was a massive threat to democracy or something. It just goes to show that nobody really believed that because if they did, they wouldn’t be throwing money at him.
