Tech Industry Leaders Flock to Trump’s Inauguration, Signaling Shift in Political Landscape
In a significant departure from their previous stance, many top tech industry leaders are set to attend President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, including Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and Google CEO Sundar Pichai. This move signals a shift in the political landscape, with big tech companies increasingly embracing Trump’s administration.
The heads of companies such as OpenAI, Apple, Uber, and Microsoft have also donated millions to fund inaugural events, including parades and swanky parties. Tech leaders, including Elon Musk, Shou Zi Chew, and Jeff Bezos, have been visiting Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in the past two months.
Trump has welcomed the tech industry’s support, stating, "Mark Zuckerberg came. Bill Gates came. Many of them came numerous times. The bankers have all come. Everybody is coming." Notable tech figures have met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, including Bezos, who owns The Washington Post. The outlet has faced backlash for its critical coverage of Trump.
Zuckerberg, who has made a significant effort to ingratiate himself with Trump, told a podcast host that he is done with "culturally neutered" elements of corporate America and wants to promote "masculine energy" in the future. Meta has ended its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, which included removing transgender and nonbinary customization themes from its Messenger app.
Other notable tech leaders expected to attend the inauguration include Tim Cook, Apple CEO; Sam Altman, OpenAI CEO; and David Sacks, the newly appointed White House AI and crypto "czar." Musk, who has been a vocal supporter of Trump, has been a constant presence in his administration, advising on key issues.
The tech industry’s shift towards Trump is seen as a significant departure from their previous stance, with many companies now criticizing the Biden administration’s attempts at oversight. The move is viewed as a sign of the changing political landscape, with big tech companies increasingly embracing the Trump administration.
