Last week, Bezos announced a $1 million donation through Amazon to President-elect Trump's inaugural fund.
The much-anticipated meeting was first revealed by The Wall Street Journal last week when Bezos announced a $1 million donation through Amazon to President-elect Trump's inaugural fund as leaders worked to rebuild bridges with the incoming commander-in-chief.
The outlet also reported that Amazon will stream the inauguration on Prime Video, which will amount to an in-kind donation valued at another $1 million.
Bezos recently wrote on X that Trump showed "tremendous grace and courage" during the July assassination attempt on the former president and congratulated him the day after the November 5 election. He wrote, "Big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory. No nation has bigger opportunities. Wishing Donald Trump all success in leading and uniting the America we all love.”
Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg has also sought closer ties to the new administration and also plans to donate $1 million to the inaugural fund.
Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk endorsed Trump in July and donated approximately $250 million to help the former president win back the White House.
Musk has remained close with Trump and was tapped along with billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy to head the newly created Department of Government Efficiency for the incoming Trump administration.
Trump told CNBC about the CEOs, "I want to get ideas from them. Look, we want them to do well. We want everybody, and we want great jobs, and fantastic salaries. We want people to love, and when they wake up in the morning, like get up and ‘I love to go to work, I want to go to work.’ We want people working, and we want them working for a lot of money."
