(Translated) Spotify has donated an undisclosed amount to Donald Trump's inauguration as US President, Joining tech giants such as Meta, Google, and Microsoft.
When Spotify CEO Daniel Ek spoke by phone with Donald Trump, he came prepared.
Ek shared statistics with the president-elect about how well his pre-election podcast interview with Joe Rogan performed on the streaming platform, a source familiar with the discussion told CNN – a subtle way to stroke Trump’s ego during their introductory call.
Ek is one of at least 10 CEOs who’ve spoken with Trump or trekked down to Mar-a-Lago to meet with him in person since the election – often bringing along a $1 million check for his inauguration.
