Tech leaders attempted to cozy up to President Trump before his second inauguration, seeking to build rapport and favor. However, a few months into his presidency, many have faced challenges due to tariffs, immigration restrictions, and potential funding cuts affecting their companies' profitability. Although some electronics were spared from the highest tariffs temporarily, U.S. CEOs are reconsidering their spending strategies. Analyst Darrell West notes a shift from initial optimism to disappointment in the relationship, highlighting that while tech leaders strive to stay connected with Trump, they may not influence his decisions.
Some of the biggest tech leaders tried to get in President Donald Trump's good graces before he took office for a second time, meeting with him at his Mar-a-Lago resort and snagging prime spots at Trump's inauguration.
Some of the tech leaders have probably been disappointed. The tech leaders had a buddy-buddy relationship with Trump early in the administration, but since then, it has been a rocky road.
