Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, has pledged $1 million to support the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, scheduled for January 20, 2025. This contribution is part of a broader fundraising effort for the inauguration, which has reportedly raised over $200 million, with at least $150 million earmarked specifically for the event. Notably, Cook's donation marks a continuation of his relationship with Trump, as he joins other tech executives, including those from Amazon and Meta, who have also contributed to the inaugural committee. The fundraising efforts for Trump's inauguration have surpassed the previous record of $107 million raised for his first inauguration in 2017. Additionally, the Indian-American Dhol band is set to participate in the inauguration parade, further diversifying the event's cultural representation.
