Technology’s turn to Trump: Every company and executive is kissing the ring.

If the Trump administration is lenient on regulation and antitrust enforcement, companies like Meta, Apple, Microsoft, and Google could benefit. Many tech leaders, including Zuckerberg, Pichai, Bezos, and Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, have already made pilgrimages to Mar-a-Lago to directly discuss and potentially influence tech policy with Trump.

Musk has taken on an advisory role with the incoming administration from the beginning. Meanwhile, Zuckerberg, whom Trump once threatened to sentence to life in prison, reset the meta by abolishing social media fact-checking and restrictions. It denigrates LGBTQ people, immigrants, and women. President Joe Biden said the following in his farewell speech: Warns Americans about Silicon Valley’s political influence. “An oligarchy is forming in the United States with enormous wealth, power, and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy,” he said.
