RE: https://www.threads.net/... Anil Dash / @anildash : Absolutely pathetic behavior. He said he was going to throw you in prison and you still can't help sucking up to a fascist. Matt Navarra / @mattnavarra : this post won't age well Romit Mehta / @theromit : Of course the CEOs are now sucking up to the new guy. They know how vindictive he is. All need to bend the knee or else ... Taylor Lorenz / @taylorlorenz : The Billionaires are already kissing his ass Bluesky: @shultzman.com : All the Tech Billionaires are bending the knee [embedded post] Olivier Simard-Casanova / @o.simardcasanova.net : Don't expect tech billionaires to fight — They're already kissing the ring — (Mark Zuckerberg's post doesn't fly well on Threads, as you can imagine...) [images] Dave Vetter / @davidrvetter.bsky.social : Deep down, this result cannot have surprised anyone. Trump represents the billionaires, who own almost all the ways in which people receive their information. From Musk to Zuckerberg, Bezos to Murdoch, this was class solidarity in action. [embedded post] X: Tim Cook / @tim_cook : 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.

[image] Reid Hoffman / @reidhoffman : We now have a President-elect of the United States: Donald Trump. It is clear that he has again won the presidency in a country where we enjoy relatively unfettered rights to vote, speak out, and steer our futures. In January, we will enjoy a peaceful transfer of power. Peaceful Andy Jassy / @ajassy : Congratulations to President-elect @realDonaldTrump on a hard-fought victory. We look forward to working with you and your administration on issues important to our customers, employees, communities, and country. Satya Nadella / @satyanadella : Congratulations President Trump, we're looking forward to engaging with you and your administration to drive innovation forward that creates new growth and opportunity for the United States and the world. @bigtechalert : 🆕 @jeffbezos has started following @realdonaldtrump [image] Brian Merchant / @bcmerchant : It's not just Elon Musk. From Jeff Bezos killing WaPo's Harris endorsement, to Zuck, Tim Cook, and Sundar Pichai cozying up to Trump and the success of the crypto lobby, I think we're seeing the dawn of a new era; a full throttle symbiosis between Trump and Silicon Valley. Elon Musk / @elonmusk : @StephenM @realDonaldTrump The American people have made it absolutely clear that they utterly reject the current ruling class. Radical reform of government is what they want. Greg Brockman / @gdb : Congratulations to President Trump! I'm encouraged by the tech-forwardness of his campaign. Leading in technology generally—and AI in particular—is how America can continue to lead the world and protect democratic values.

We look forward to continued progress and opportunity under his leadership and working together toward a strong and unified future for all. 🇺🇸 Doug Leone / @dougleone : THE END OF LUNACY AND THE RETURN OF COMMON SENSE!! Aaron / @aaronp613 : @timcook I still have hope [Screenshot of Apple Intelligence showing the election not decided yet] Elon Musk / @elonmusk : @tim_cook 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Rat King / @mikeisaac : Bezos first major tech figure to publicly congratulate Trump, OpenAI CEO Altman second am guessing you'll see the rest of big tech following suit by the end of the day Susan Simpson / @theviewfromll2 : We have to assume that Bezos will kill @washingtonpost stories that Trump doesn't like, because Bezos knows Trump will crush Amazon if he doesn't. It would be beyond naive to expect Bezos to do otherwise. Sean Garrette / @seangarrette : It's crazy how Trump has literally berated and dragged Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk and they both are on their knees sucking him off publicly. Truly the weakest links. Eric Feigl-Ding / @drericding : Now we know why Washington Post was muzzled by Bezos. Teddy Schleifer / @teddyschleifer : Hmmmmm Bill Grueskin / @bgrueskin : Wow, that's quite an, um, endorsement!

Exciting times for space exploration are ahead of us. Jeff Stein / @jstein_wapo : From a story I did recently on billionaires, including Bezos, signaling their openness to Trump pre-election: “Trump has had no issue calling out political enemies by name and threatening to use the force of government for retribution, and apparently that is intimidating a lot of Mark Elliott / @markmobility : WaPo's endorsement finally drops.

Congratulations to President Trump on a decisive victory. We have great opportunities ahead of us as a country. Looking forward to working with you and your administration.
We will never know, obviously, but reading this aggregate of tech CEOs congratulating Trump makes me wonder what kind of tweets Elon and co would have fired off had Kamala won. Don't think they'd be so nice.
