EXCLUSIVE — Microsoft is donating $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural fund, matching gifts from Google, Amazon, Meta, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, a Microsoft spokesperson confirmed.
The $1 million donation to Trump’s inauguration, which has not been reported, is double that of the company’s giving of $500,000 each to Trump’s 2017 committee and President Joe Biden’s in 2021. It is emblematic of a sweeping effort by the tech sector to get in the good graces of Trump, who, since his victory in the 2024 election, has dined with tech CEOs at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
