No, but they can throw tons of money at it to influence officials to do things their way.

It's still the government that takes the action to harm the citizen, not the corporation. You can pay someone to kill a person, but they are the murderer: not you.

Also, money does not guarantee cooperation. Hitler accepted funds from many companies. After he took power, while many initially profited from the wartime economy, they had no real control over the actions of the government that inevitably led to their near complete destruction.
