      Can someone explain the logic of naming a German company here and then linking to an article about American companies?

      Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential bid attracted significant financial backing from a mix of corporate donors, billionaire executives and industry giants.

      With strong financial backing from sectors including oil and gas, technology and finance, Trump secured a well-funded campaign that helped propel him back into the White House.

      # Why It Matters

      Campaign financing plays a crucial role in shaping political strategies, policy priorities and even administrative appointments.

      Trump’s fundraising efforts reflect the support of influential donors who may expect favorable policies in return. The financial backing from corporate and billionaire donors signals key industry interests in a potential second Trump presidency. It also shows which companies are rushing to support the incoming administration by donating to its inaugurual fund.

      Trump has raised substantial sums from high-profile corporations and business leaders. According to *Rolling Stone*, major companies such as [Chevron](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/chevron), ExxonMobil and Occidental Petroleum have contributed to Trump’s inauguration committee. Tech giants [Amazon](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/amazon) and [Meta ](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/meta)also donated $1 million each, along with Uber and Qualcomm. The cryptocurrency industry has also emerged as a major donor, with Coinbase, Kraken, Galaxy Digital Holdings, [Crypto.com](http://Crypto.com) and Paradigm Operations each contributing $1 million.

      Private prison companies CoreCivic and GEO Group each donated $500,000, potentially positioning themselves to benefit from Trump’s planned immigration policies. GEO Group’s executive chairman, George Zoley, explicitly acknowledged these benefits, stating: “We believe that the private sector will play a critical role in assisting the government in carrying out its objectives…The GEO Group was built for this unique moment in our country’s history and the opportunities that it will bring.”

      Some donations, however, arose from other circumstances. Airbnb, for example, contributed $100,000 to Trump’s inaugural fund, but those donations stemmed from an earlier contribution made in the summer that [Republicans](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/republicans) did not use. Over the summer, Airbnb offered $100,000 in coupons to both the [Republican](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/republican) National Committee and [Democratic National Committee](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/democratic-national-committee) so that they could put up their respective staffs during their naming conventions. The RNC did not use those coupons, and after Trump’s election victory, requested that they be redeemed instead for the inaugural committee.

      “Airbnb provided $100,000 in coupons to the inaugural committee to assist with accommodations in Washington, D.C. during the inauguration, as we did for both the Republican National Convention and Democratic National Convention over the summer of 2024,” the company said in a statement shared with *Newsweek*.

      I assume they spent about the same amount on the Biden / Harris campaign. These are humongous companies with stupid big budgets, and it doesn’t really matter to them who wins as long as they’re on good terms with the winner, it’s just another cost of running the business.

      But with that said, I think most of these big companies would have preferred the Biden / Harris global stability (or status quo) over Trump / Vance / Elon chaos.

      Not trying to defend them spending even a dollar on Trump, just seeing this from the cold hearted way capitalism works.

      Maybe it’s coincidentally and I’m reading too much into it:

      The 10 mg pill version of Androcur (an antiandrogene licensed by Bayer) is not produced anymore and no one knows why. They officially ended its production. The pill is important in f.e. trans medicine and the bigger version (50 mg) cannot be properly divided for Patients like the 10 mg one; so you get too much or nothing, leaving many trans patients in Germany to search for alternatives (which there aren’t many afaik).

      Bayer AG (The German one) did not contribute to any candidate.

      If I check [https://www.fec.gov/data/](https://www.fec.gov/data/) with all the donor data, I can’t find a million.

      Can somebody enlighten me, how that number came about or whether this is another AI bullshit hallucination?
