Google has donated $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, as part of a record-high inaugural fund.
Contributions to the fund have exceeded $170 million, significantly outpacing previous inaugurations, including Biden's $62 million.
Other notable donors include Apple CEO Tim Cook and Ford Motor Co., both contributing substantial amounts to solidify ties with the incoming administration.
The Federal Election Commission permits corporations to contribute to an inaugural committee without donation limits, enhancing corporate engagement in U.S. politics.
This move reflects tech executives' efforts to mend relationships with Trump following his criticisms of the tech industry in the past.
