After Trump defeated Harris to win the US election, leaders of major US technology companies rushed to express their congratulations. The CEOs said they wish Trump success when he returns to the White House and look forward to working with his administration. Amazon founder and executive chairman Jeff Bezos celebrated Trump's victory in a post on X, calling it "an extraordinary political comeback and a decisive victory."


Bezos did not have a good relationship with Trump and was a frequent target of Trump during his first term. Trump has repeatedly taken aim at Bezos' ownership of newspapers, Amazon's tax records and its relationship with the U.S. Postal Service. Bezos has also criticized Trump, writing "Send Trump to space" in a 2015 social media post.

Bezos, however, has struck a softer tone recently, praising Trump's "courage" in July when he narrowly escaped assassination at a rally in Pennsylvania. Bezos has only posted on X twice this year, both times mentioning Trump.

In the run-up to Election Day, Bezos and his newspaper were embroiled in controversy after the paper chose not to endorse any candidate in the presidential election for the first time in decades. Bezos defended the decision in an op-ed in The Washington Post, saying the endorsement could create a "feeling of bias."

Current Amazon CEO Andy Jassy also expressed congratulations to Trump. "Congratulations to President-elect Donald Trump on a hard-earned victory," he posted on "

Apple CEO Tim Cook posted on X to congratulate Trump on his victory. "We look forward to working with you and your administration to help ensure that America continues to lead and advance America with ingenuity, innovation and creativity," he wrote.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman posted on X that he wished Trump "great success in this job." In a subsequent post, he wrote, "It is critical that the United States remains a leader in developing artificial intelligence."

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg called Trump's election a "decisive victory" and said he looked forward to working with the Trump administration. "As a country, we have a tremendous opportunity," Zuckerberg wrote in a post on Threads. Threads is Meta's competitor to Elon Musk's X platform.

Zuckerberg and Trump also have a difficult relationship. In 2021, Facebook banned Trump for two years shortly after the Capitol Hill riots on January 6. In March, Trump called Facebook "the real enemy of the people."

According to reports, Trump also claimed in a book published in September that Zuckerberg had "plotted" against him in the 2020 presidential election, and said that if Zuckerberg did so again, he might "spend the rest of his life in prison."

Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who strongly supported Trump in this election, also unsurprisingly cheered Trump’s victory.

Musk has been a key ally in Trump's bid for the White House, with the former president promising to name him chairman of the Council on Government Effectiveness before his election. Musk also donated nearly $75 million to American Political Action Committee, a pro-Trump super PAC he formed earlier this year. Tesla shares surged on Wednesday as investors expressed optimism that a Trump victory would benefit the automaker.

Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google parent Alphabet, also congratulated Trump on his victory and said he was committed to working with the president-elect's administration.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said: "Congratulations to President Trump, and we look forward to working with you and your administration to drive innovation and create new growth and opportunity for America and the world."

Venture capitalist and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman wrote a lengthy post acknowledging that Trump "won the presidential election again." Hoffman, a high-profile supporter of Harris' campaign, also called on Americans to unite.

“Now we begin working to bridge our divides and ensure that all Americans enjoy a safe, secure, and prosperous future,” Huffman wrote. "forward".

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger also congratulated Trump, adding that his company looked forward to "working with their administration to advance America's technology and manufacturing leadership in the world."

Intel is undergoing a major restructuring as it looks to regain its position as the world's leading semiconductor manufacturer. Trump's election could be crucial for Intel and other chipmakers, as Republicans have said they may repeal the Biden administration's CHIP Act, a law aimed at spurring U.S. chip production.

IBM CEO Arvind Krishna congratulated Trump on LinkedIn on his victory. He said the company looks forward to working with the Trump administration and Congress to "advance U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence and quantum, strengthen U.S. competitiveness, and expand economic opportunity across the country."

Cisco founder and CEO Chuck Robbins wrote on X that the company looks forward to working with Trump and Congress on policies for "connectivity, innovation, cybersecurity and more."

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi congratulated Trump on his "huge victory," adding that the company "stands ready to work with you and your administration to improve transportation, empower small businesses, and raise the standard for flexible work."

Box CEO Aaron Levy also sent his blessing to Trump. He wrote on the
