Jeff Bezos and Amazon have strategically aligned with the Trump administration through financial contributions and policy shifts. Amazon donated $1 million to Trump's 2025 inaugural committee (up from $58,000 in 2017) and streamed the inauguration on Prime Video. Bezos personally praised Trump's victory, backed his deregulatory agenda, and blocked the Washington Post from endorsing a candidate in 2024. Amazon pledged $340 billion in domestic investment, including AI-focused data centers. Though not officially tied to Project 2025, former Amazon lobbyists contributed to its "Mandate for Leadership," and Amazon's legal fights against the NLRB align closely with the project's goal of weakening federal oversight.

Mark Zuckerberg attended Trump's 2025 inauguration and Meta donated $1 million to the inaugural fund. Meta has since dismantled its DEI programs, replaced third-party fact-checking with a "Community Notes" model, and loosened content moderation — changes that closely mirror Project 2025's goals of eliminating "government censorship infrastructure" and DEI frameworks. Meta's ties to the project are reinforced by its hiring of Dustin Carmack, a Heritage Foundation fellow who authored Project 2025's Intelligence Community chapter. Meta pledged $600 billion in U.S. AI infrastructure investment, with a hot mic moment suggesting Zuckerberg coordinated the figure directly with Trump. The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative has also shut down its racial equity and immigration programs, citing the new administration's regulatory climate.

Tim Cook donated $1 million to Trump's 2025 inaugural committee and later presented the President with a custom engraved sculpture during an Oval Office visit. Apple pledged $600 billion in U.S. investment over four years, including a $100 billion manufacturing program to reshore iPhone and Apple Watch production to Kentucky and Texas — securing Apple key exemptions from semiconductor tariffs in return. While Apple hasn't abandoned its stances on privacy and human rights, its leadership has stayed conspicuously silent on the administration's controversial social policies, prioritizing market stability and regulatory relief over public dissent.

Microsoft donated $1 million to Trump's 2025 inaugural committee, and Bill Gates emerged from a January 2025 dinner with the President calling him "impressive" on innovation. In early 2026, Microsoft signed the White House "Ratepayer Protection Pledge," committing to fully fund power infrastructure for its AI data centers. It also struck a multi-billion dollar GSA deal to provide federal agencies with AI tools like Copilot at no cost in the first year. While Gates has criticized cuts to foreign aid, his rhetoric has softened — a late 2025 memo acknowledging climate change won't doom humanity was celebrated by the administration as a win. Together, these moves reflect a strategy aligned with Project 2025's emphasis on AI supremacy and reducing regulatory barriers through private-sector investment.

Uber and CEO Dara Khosrowshahi contributed a combined $2 million to Trump's 2025 inaugural committee — Khosrowshahi's largest political donation ever. Uber has since become a key corporate partner, participating in the administration's "Trump Accounts" children's savings program and securing a nationwide GSA rideshare contract giving federal employees complimentary Uber One memberships. Its lobbying helped drive the 2026 repeal of Biden's independent contractor rule, aligning with Project 2025's goal of weakening federal labor oversight. Uber has also supplied transportation data for border and logistics initiatives, cementing its role as a close institutional ally of the administration.

Elon Musk has moved from corporate supporter to a central figure in the administration, leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its sweeping federal spending cuts — directly mirroring Project 2025's goals. Musk reportedly contributed $45 million monthly to America PAC during the campaign and helped fund key architects of the "Mandate for Leadership." Tesla has benefited through a regulatory fast-track for its Full Self-Driving technology and federal backing for its $500 billion AI supercluster. Tesla's relocation to Texas and Florida aligns with the administration's push to reward deregulatory, anti-union states. With Optimus robotics and Starlink integrated into defense and border operations, Musk has effectively merged his corporate empire with the executive branch.
