According to data from various sources, Amazon and its employees have historically supported Democrat candidates and causes.

Google's political contributions lean heavily towards Democrat candidates and causes:
- In the 2024 election cycle, Google's contributions were heavily weighted towards Democrats. For instance, through its PAC, Google contributed 48.55% to Democrat candidates or committees, showcasing a significant portion of their political donations going to Democrats.
- In a broader analysis of online political spending in 2024, it was noted that of the spenders on Google and Meta known to advertise in support of a party, spending in favor of Democrats was more than three times the amount of spending for Republicans.
These contributions are part of Google's broader political engagement, which also includes support for Republican candidates but with a clear preference for Democrats in terms of financial support.
There isn't direct evidence that Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) specifically donates to the Democrat Party in the United States, however, TCS has made significant contributions to electoral trusts in India, which in turn can distribute funds to various political parties, including those that might have affiliations or similarities with political ideologies found in other countries like the Democrat Party in the U.S.
TCS has contributed to the Progressive Electoral Trust, which is an entity set up to collect contributions from companies and distribute them to political parties. For instance, in 2019, TCS gave Rs 220 crore to an electoral trust, though it's not specified which political parties benefited from this donation. This trust has historically supported parties like the Indian National Congress, which could be seen as having left-leaning policies akin to Democrat positions in the U.S.
Meta, alongside its affiliates and employees, has given a significant portion of its political contributions to Democrats. For instance, in the 2022 election cycle, around 78% of the total dollars donated by Meta-affiliated donors went to Democrats.

Apple also donates to Democrats, primarily through the contributions of its employees rather than through a corporate political action committee (PAC). Here's an overview based on the available data:

- 2024 Cycle: In the 2024 election cycle, Apple's contributions totaled $4,644,216. Although specific breakdowns by party for this cycle aren't detailed in the provided data, given historical patterns, it's reasonable to infer that a majority would go to Democrats.
- CEO and Executives: Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, has personally donated to both parties, but his contributions have leaned more towards Democrats. For example, in 2016, he contributed more to Hillary Clinton than to any Republican candidate.
- Posts on X: There are mentions on X about a high percentage (97.5%) of Apple's donations going to Democrats, which aligns with the broader data indicating a preference for Democrat candidates.
