What Donald Trump's Win Will Mean for Big Tech
WiredOn Wednesday, the chief executives of the leading Big Tech companies congratulated the US president-elect. Trump has shown disdain for Big Tech companies, and he’s been vocal about pursuing policies that increase the cost of doing business for Big Tech and subject them to more unfavorable regulations. And now, with Elon Musk as his biggest supporter, “this might be a moment in which there’s a picking of favorites amongst the Big Tech players,” says Betsy Cooper, director of the Aspen Policy Academy. While Trump’s tech policy positions have varied widely—and shifted often—his actions during his last presidency and his comments on the campaign trail shed light on what Big Tech might expect during a second term. Tariffs and Trade One of the most closely-watched Trump proposals among the tech crowd has been his proposed import tariff, which could have a massive impact on both tech companies and consumer spending.
