In a stunning turn of events, Big Tech’s notorious hostility towards President Trump is rapidly being replaced by an uncharacteristic sense of camaraderie as he heads into his second term. Once the bane of Trump’s existence during his first term, companies like Apple are now scrambling to cozy up to the former president, proving that even some of the most liberal-leaning CEOs recognize where the true power lies.
Leading the charge is Tim Cook, the billionaire mastermind behind Apple, who reportedly dug deep into his pockets to the tune of $1 million to help fund Trump’s upcoming inauguration. This revelation, shared by Axios, is just one of many big dollar contributions coming from tech titans eager to mend fences with the incoming administration. It’s almost as if they’ve realized that alienating the president might not be the best strategy for their companies’ futures.

Cook’s decision to contribute in what he claims is the “spirit of unity” has shocked many who remember the public spats between Trump and tech executives in the past. In an apparent about-face, Cook has opted for active engagement with lawmakers from both parties, suggesting that perhaps the tech giant is looking for a seat at the table rather than remaining spectators in the political sphere. After all, few things say “I’m sorry for the last four years of drama” quite like a hefty donation.
But Cook isn’t the only one playing nice. Reports have surfaced that other tech leaders, including Jeff Bezos of Amazon and Mark Zuckerberg from Meta, have joined the trend—holding dinners at Trump’s luxurious properties and pledging donations of their own. It’s enough to make any conservative’s heart swell with joy—Big Tech appears to be softening its stance, and just in time to avoid potential regulatory fire. Who knew a little monetary persuasion could work wonders?
This sudden wave of tech generosity is not just for show. The Associated Press has suggested that these acts of goodwill are a strategic move to influence policies that matter to them, like easing regulations and making peace after an initially combative relationship with Trump. It’s a refreshing change of pace: instead of slinging mud, they’re throwing cash, all in the hopes of getting a friendly ear in policy discussions that could impact the future of their industries.
So here’s the final joke in this saga: while Trump was once the tech world’s villain, it appears he’s now the star of their redemption arc. With Big Tech executives now lining up to say they want to be friends, the lesson is clear—money talks and, apparently, so do second chances.
