Tech CEOs congratulate Trump on election victory

Investing.com — Following election night’s overwhelming victory for President Donald Trump, tech CEOs across Silicon Valley are out congratulating the president-elect.

Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos was among the first. “Big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory,” Bezos said on X. “No nation has bigger opportunities. Wishing @realDonaldTrump all success in leading and uniting the America we all love.” Bezos caught heat from the left side of the aisle for his op-ed piece in the Washington Post, saying the paper will not endorse a presidential candidate, breaking tradition. Bezos, who owns the paper, said, “Americans don’t trust the news media.”

The CEO of Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Sundar Pichai, called Trump’s victory “decisive.” “We are in a golden age of American innovation and are committed to working with his administration to help bring the benefits to everyone,” he added.

OpenAI’s Sam Altman said, “Congrats to President Trump.” He added that it is important for the U.S. to maintain its AI leadership and democratic values.

Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) Tim Cook also congratulated Trump. “Congratulations President Trump on your victory! We look forward to engaging with you and your administration to help make sure the United States continues to lead with and be fueled by ingenuity, innovation, and creativity.”

One CEO who congratulated Trump in person and also received praise from the new President last night is Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) Elon Musk. Musk was with Trump on election night and helped him secure a victory in battleground Pennsylvania.

Shares of Tesla are up 14% in afternoon action Wednesday, and tech stocks are broadly higher following the Trump win.
