<p>Apple CEO <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tim-cook" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tim Cook</a> is reportedly reaching into his own pockets to write a $1 million check to President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s inaugural committee.</p>
<p>Axios reported that only Cook is expected to give to the fund — not the company.</p>
<p>Cook &#8220;believes the inauguration is a great American tradition, and is donating to the inauguration in the spirit of unity,&#8221; the report <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/01/03/tim-cook-apple-donate-1-million-trump-inauguration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, citing sources close to Cook. He &#8220;has made it clear over the years that he believes in participation, not sitting on the sidelines, and engaging with policymakers from both sides of the aisle.&#8221;</p>
<p>The report noted that Apple is America&#8217;s and the world&#8217;s largest taxpayer.</p>
<p>Trump has secured $1 million donations from other top business leaders and companies including from Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg — whose company owns Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and more.</p>
<p>Amazon.com was also planning to donate $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund. The donation is being prepared as Bezos, who serves as Amazon’s executive chairman, is expected to travel to Mar-a-Lago next week for a private meeting with Trump.</p>
<p>OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was also reportedly planning to donate $1 million to the fund, telling The New York Times: “President Trump will lead our country into the age of A.I., and I am eager to support his efforts to ensure America stays ahead.”</p>
<p>Major automakers General Motors, Ford, and Toyota have all <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/major-carmakers-latest-companies-to-shell-out-1m-for-trumps-inauguration">promised</a> to donate $1 million each toward the fund.</p>
<p>Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich said that the shift by business leaders to cozy up to the incoming president reflected a state of &#8220;panic&#8221; that they had.</p>
<p>“I think the term is ‘panic.’ These guys were all anti-Trump, and they all know he has a great memory, an enormous amount of energy and is quite prepared to go after people who he thinks are a problem,” Gingrich told Bloomberg.</p>
