Today, January 20, Donald Trump takes office as the 47th President of the United States. Once viewed as a threat, the man is now perceived differently. The business and financial sectors are scrambling to align themselves with his policies, echoing the famous saying: “If you cannot defeat them, then join them.”
Key supporters: Zuckerberg, Altman, and Bezos
Among those who have rushed to support Trump’s presidency is Mark Zuckerberg, who donated $1 million to his inauguration fund. Joining him are Sam Altman of OpenAI and Jeff Bezos of Amazon. Prominent figures such as Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, and Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet, are also now part of Trump’s orbit.
Big tech's massive gains
Since November 5, those who have aligned themselves with the president have seen massive gains. Elon Musk’s wealth has surged by $186 billion, Jeff Bezos’s by $31 billion, and Mark Zuckerberg’s by $15 billion.
Musk: the “Deus ex machina” of Trump’s re-election
The real mastermind behind Trump’s re-election is undoubtedly Elon Musk. It is through his influence that technology giants are now captivated by the new president’s policies. Silicon Valley has embraced a new trend: swapping their radical chic t-shirts for tailored suits befitting true yuppies.
Meta’s bold moves: a historic shift
The shift has been swift and palpable. Meta, under Zuckerberg’s leadership, has made two groundbreaking decisions: the elimination of “fact-checking” on content within the United States and the immediate discontinuation of the company’s internal “diversity, equity, and inclusion” program. These changes signal a clear alignment with the new administration’s policies.
