Amazon and Meta, the companies behind Amazon. com and Facebook, have each decided to contribute $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump's inaugural fund. This move comes as tech companies and their leaders try to mend their relationships with the incoming president. Amazon's founder, Jeff Bezos, who also owns The Washington Post, hasn't always seen eye-to-eye with Trump. The president-elect has criticized Bezos for The Post's coverage and questioned deals between Amazon and the U. S. Postal Service. However, Bezos has recently praised Trump's bravery and expressed optimism about his administration. But why are these tech giants suddenly showing support? Some say it's about business. Amazon, for one, has been involved in a cloud computing contract dispute with the Pentagon that Trump could influence. Others argue it's about staying in the president's good graces. After all, Trump isn't shy about using his platform to call out companies he dislikes. It's also important to note that these donations aren't just about money. They're about public image and access. By contributing to the inaugural fund, these companies are signaling that they want to work with, not against, the new administration. And with Trump's known fondness for Twitter, a little positive press couldn't hurt.
