Tech companies like Meta, Google, and Apple donated large sums to Donald Trump's inauguration as the new President of the USA.
Swedish companies also donated money. One of them is Spotify. A spokesperson for the music service tells Dagens Nyheter that the company donated 150,000 dollars, equivalent to approximately 1.7 million kronor.
The telecommunications company Ericsson contributed an even larger amount to the presidential ceremony – 5.5 million kronor.
"Our strong market share in the USA and our commitment to secure networks make us a critical part of the national security structure. The donation reflects this and our growing commitment to the USA at a crucial time on the path towards a fully digital economy", says CEO Börje Ekholm in an internal message that Dagens Industri has taken part of.
