America's newly elected President Donald Trump will take oath of office on January 20. Even before taking oath, many IT leaders have started increasing their friendship with Trump. Many big industrialists have even visited Trump's private residence Mar-a-Lago. 

These bigwigs are also funding Trump's swearing-in ceremony. Trump himself is surprised at these activities. 

Trump himself expressed surprise

During a recent press conference, Donald Trump said that in my previous tenure, everyone was fighting with me. In this tenure, everyone wants to be my friend. He said that I don't understand whether my personality has changed or the reason is something else.

These could be the reasons

• Though there can be many reasons for increasing friendship with Donald Trump, but according to a report by US News, all these are the major reasons for the tech CEO to get closer to Trump. 
• That is, the US Parliament is considering making some strict rules for social media safety measures for children and AI. All these giants are worried that Trump may take such a step which will cause a big loss to their business.
• At the same time, companies like Meta, Apple, Amazon, Alphabet are facing many lawsuits amid allegations of monopolistic practices, due to which these leaders are also circling Trump. 

Mark Zuckerberg is also in line...

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is also in this series. He was the first tech CEO to have dinner with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in late November. However, there has been a big change in Mark Zuckerberg's attitude towards Donald Trump. He had never supported Trump in the elections before, but after his victory, Zuckerberg's tone has changed.

Meta once banned Trump from Facebook for inciting the Capitol violence, but now Zuckerberg is trying to appease him through policy changes. 

Elon Musk's friendship is on top

Elon Musk has become America's biggest political contributor. He made a significant contribution to Trump's victory. Musk spent millions of dollars on Trump's election campaign. However, this is much less than the billions of dollars he earned after Trump's victory. Musk is also seen standing with Trump to protect his interests in his electric car maker Tesla, rocket developer SpaceX and artificial intelligence firm xAI.

Tim Cook is busy saving his companies

According to the report, Apple CEO Tim Cook met Trump for dinner at Mar-a-Lago last month. Cook's personal relationship with Trump was established during Trump's first term. US News reports that Trump's priorities such as tariffs on China could have a serious impact on Apple's business, but Cook has a track record of protecting his company's interests.

Trump's relationship with Jeff Bezos was not good

Trump's relationship with Amazon owner Jeff Bezos has not been good. It has even been discussed that he had instructed the editorial panel of the Washington Post not to publish anything wrong against Trump's presidential rival Vice President Kamala Harris.

Bezos has criticized Trump several times in the past. Days after Trump's first inauguration, Bezos had coined the slogan "democracy in the dark" after which Trump reportedly angrily ordered the Pentagon to pull Amazon out of a multi-billion cloud-computing contract.

However, now before Trump's second term, Bezos's tone is also changing. He said that he is very optimistic about Trump's rule. Actually, the reason for this may be to benefit the Amazon company.

Sam Altman

Sam Altman is the CEO of ChatGPT's parent company OpenAI. Altman will try to improve his company's relations with the Trump administration. It is worth noting that Altman has had a long-standing public feud with Musk. He is currently in a legal dispute with Musk, Trump has chosen Musk to co-lead the newly created Government Efficiency Department. Sam Altman will try to ensure that Musk does not create any problems for him in the Trump regime.

Sundar Pichai

Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Google co-founder Sergey Brin will also try to improve relations with the Trump government. A few days ago, Trump had claimed that Google was rigging the elections. At the same time, the company was also suppressing many news. In such a situation, in Trump's second term, Google will try not to get into any more trouble with the US government.
