Amazon is following Meta’s lead by making a $1 million donation to president-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural fund just one day after Meta made an identical donation.
Amazon confirmed the contribution to multiple outlets on Thursday. Sources told the Wall Street Journal that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos helped Amazon decide on the amount.
“Bezos is donating through Amazon,” a source claimed to the WSJ.
The inaugural fund covers early expenses that come up when a new president takes office. Federal Election Commission records show that Microsoft donated $500,000 to both Trump’s first inauguration in 2017 and President Joe Biden’s in 2021. Amazon didn’t donate in 2021 but gave about $58,000 in 2017.
