Following Donald Trump’s return to the White House as the 47th President of the United States, top leaders from the technology industry have issued statements congratulating him on his victory. Despite previous clashes with Trump, who had openly criticised several of these executives and their companies during his earlier term, tech CEOs are now signalling their intent to cooperate with the incoming administration.
During his campaign, Trump did not shy away from criticising Silicon Valley giants, at one point even suggesting that he might “break up” Google over perceived biases in its search results and hinting at legal action against Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. However, Trump’s latest win appears to have prompted a wave of optimism across the tech sector, with many executives offering statements that highlight a willingness to engage on issues of innovation, growth, and national competitiveness.
