Tech giants including Oracle, Lockheed Martin quietly fund Trump’s military parade

Oracle, Lockheed Martin, Palantir, Coinbase and Amazon have recently donated to America250, the nonprofit raising funds for the nation’s semiquincentennial anniversary, the organization said.

Palantir, Coinbase and Amazon did not respond to The Post’s requests for comment.
