Trump claims a $300M White House ballroom is privately funded, with major tech firms among 37 donors, though details remain unclear.
President Donald Trump says a $300 million White House ballroom is fully funded by him and private donors, with the White House releasing a list of 37 contributors including tech giants like Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Palantir, along with sports owners and financiers.
The list is incomplete, omitting companies like Nvidia and Carrier Group, and does not disclose individual donation amounts.
Most donors declined to confirm contributions, and some are withholding names until required by disclosure rules.
No foreign entities are involved.
While past tensions exist—such as Trump’s criticism of Amazon and Google, and Meta’s suspension of his accounts—several companies have since contributed, including $1 million donations from Apple, Google, and Meta to the inauguration fund.
Google’s YouTube paid $24.5 million in a settlement, with $22 million going to the Trust for the National Mall.
Microsoft and Palantir have strong ties to the administration.
The project remains under scrutiny due to limited financial transparency.
