Top CEOs and their companies are pledging significant donations to President-elect Donald Trump's inaugural committee, with some contributing up to $2 million. The donations aim to curry favor with the incoming administration and gain influence. Tech giants like Amazon, Meta, and Uber are among those donating, despite previously being at odds with Trump. The committee has already surpassed its $150 million fundraising goal, and experts say the donations are a way for companies to avoid being "Trump's punching bag" for the next four years.
