OREANDA-NEWS The American company Google, whose CEO Sundar Pichai is in attendance at the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States, has launched an online salute for users in the United States on its search engine, according to a report from RIA Novosti.

When the word "inauguration" is entered in the search bar in the United States, the platform not only displays the search results but also launches an online salute on the device screen, which lasts for ten seconds.

The 60th inauguration of Trump, who has become the 47th President of the United States, is currently taking place in the Capitol rotunda. Pichai, the CEO of Google, is present in the rotunda, sitting in the front row of the guests, alongside other American billionaires and entrepreneurs who have been invited to the event.

Earlier, Google contributed $1 million to the inauguration fund and also launched a live broadcast of the ceremony on YouTube.

Google has joined the ranks of prominent companies, including Meta*, Amazon, OpenAI, and Apple, in contributing $1 million.

According to media reports, tech executives from the United States are actively seeking to forge connections with the incoming president. Google CEO Sundar Pichai previously visited Mar-a-Lago to meet with Trump at his private residence.

Trump, in turn, has repeatedly criticized tech companies for alleged censorship and bias against conservatives. This week, Instagram Facebook* announced a relaxation of its content moderation policies on both platforms, which was seen as a move to improve relations with the incoming president and his administration.
