So now Zuckerberg, Bezos, Tim Apple, open AI chairman Sam Altman, along with the CEO's of Salesforce and Google among others are all now giving Trump one million dollars each for his inauguration. One might recall that the last inauguration was Trump's first blatant money laundered cash grab.
>>Taken together, the donations and other celebratory gestures showcase an industry kissing the ring of an incoming president in hopes of something in return, says Margaret O'Mara, a Silicon Valley historian at the University of Washington.

"It's just a recognition that there's not much to be gained in outspoken opposition, but perhaps there is something to be gained by being very clear about your support and hope that Trump does well," she says.

To a multi-trillion-dollar company, O'Mara says, a $1 million donation amounts to "a rounding error." But companies are eager for Trump not to regulate sectors like artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency, where "many of them have made personal, and as businesses, major investments."

Many in Silicon Valley view billionaire Elon Musk's role as an adviser in the Trump administration as a line into the White House.<<
