Is there a list that keeps track of all companies doing this?

What's the point? They all support Trump even if they don't give money because they want a country for billionaires.

The point of giving the money is potential protection from Trump's wrath and to signify that they are kissing the ring.

The point of the list that tracks that, idk, could just be to keep an eye on what happens to those that openly kissed the ring.

From what I recall:

  • Facebook
  • Apple
  • Google
  • OpenAI
  • Amazon

I was thinking, "oh, surprising that Google and Microsoft are holding some principles, I underestimated then" and now this article

Let's see if Microsoft does the same.
