Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, responded to Pichai’s post with a simple “Cool,” showing support without elaborating.
Musk, an outspoken Trump supporter, previously praised Trump’s electoral win as a “clear mandate for change.”
Pichai’s statement comes alongside endorsements from other prominent tech figures, such as Apple’s Tim Cook, Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and OpenAI’s Sam Altman, who have also extended congratulations to Trump.
As Silicon Valley navigates its relationship with the new administration, there may be challenges, especially on topics like immigration and data privacy. Trump’s administration is expected to foster business-friendly policies that encourage tech growth, potentially influencing AI regulation and market competition.
