"Microsoft is one of the few tech firms that haven't bent to President Donald J. Trump's whims. Could it cost the company? US President Donald J. Trump owns the tech industry. Many of the world's largest and most influential tech firms and their leaders, including those at Alphabet, Amazon, Apple and Meta, have gone all-in on MAGA - praising Trump's leadership and policies, and doing his bidding."
"The company's CEO, Satya Nadella, stayed away from Trump's inauguration, refused to shutter Microsoft's DEI efforts, and hasn't given Trump the praise the president so desperately wants. Most recently, when Trump demanded that Microsoft fire the company's recently appointed President of Global Affairs Lisa Monaco (a former Biden administration official), Nadella simply ignored him. So far, Trump hasn't taken any public action against Microsoft (though there is an ongoing antitrust probe that could make waves)."
Microsoft has resisted aligning with President Donald J. Trump, refusing to attend his inauguration, retaining DEI programs, and withholding public praise. Satya Nadella ignored Trump's demand to fire Lisa Monaco, Microsoft’s President of Global Affairs. Trump has not publicly retaliated yet, though an antitrust probe involving Microsoft is ongoing. Trump is reportedly furious about Monaco’s appointment and may attempt further actions. Other major tech leaders have publicly supported Trump and complied with his wishes, creating a contrast that could increase political pressure on Microsoft and raise strategic and legal stakes.
