Founders and CEOs of major tech companies, including Meta, Amazon and Google, are gearing up for the Trump presidency, meeting the President-elect at his Mar-a-Lago resort and donating millions to his inauguration committee.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Meta and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos and Salesforce head Marc Benioff are scheduled to meet or have already met Trump recently.
Zuckerberg and Bezos pledged $1 million each to Trump’s inauguration fund.
Salesforce and Time magazine owner Marc Benioff celebrated his publication’s naming of Trump “Person of the Year,” for a second time, signaling a shift in tone despite past liberal leanings.
The move by tech moguls reflects their pivot to align with Trump’s policies and maintain influence during his second term. It is critical to government contracts that tech companies like Amazon and Google have.
