Why Big Tech is Making Nice with Trump

NEW YORK, USAWednesday, December 18, 2024

Big Tech leaders are cozying up to President-elect Donald Trump. They're hoping to gain favor with him before he takes office in January. Why? They're pouring millions into his inauguration fund. This is a huge increase from past contributions to incoming presidents. What do they want? Easier AI development and less antitrust trouble. Trump has shown he might be friendlier to big businesses. Some tech leaders, like Tim Cook and Mark Zuckerberg, have had rocky relationships with Trump in the past.

But now, they're donating to his fund and meeting with him. They might be hoping to influence his policies or make amends. Elon Musk also has Trump's ear. He could influence tech, AI, and even foreign policy. So, what does all this mean? Big Tech is trying to play nice with Trump to gain certain advantages.
