High-profile corporate titans — Meta, Amazon, AT&T, Microsoft, Coinbase and Lockheed Martin, among others — have already acknowledged contributing millions to Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration, hoping it will buy them access to the new president.

They include an embattled digital identification firm that’s been investigated by Congress, a private prison company with massive government contracts, a cannabis distributor keen on pro-pot regulations and a Chinese-owned agriculture outfit with controversial U.S. landholdings.
