Some names we already know very well, but I'm sure a few more are trying to line up for a dinner invitation. Yeah. I mean, everyone seems to be making their way to Mar-a-Lago. There's a very different feel this time

around. Carolina, as you may recall, from 2016. At that point, Trump held that famous meeting in Trump Tower where all the tech executives ended up coming, but it felt more like they were almost forced to be there. Right.

And they were dealing with their employees back at headquarters, mostly in Silicon Valley, complaining and protesting. This time, it feels different. They're going sort of one by one. They're having dinner at Mar-a-Lago. They're being very friendly.

And I think the awkward situation here is that Elon Musk is... All right. Because all of these people are competitors in some way or another, to Elon or his companies. And often when they're showing up to dinner, in some cases like Jeff Bezos

from Amazon, Elon Musk is at the table. Right. And how much can you really say to Donald Trump? How much can you really accomplish when one of your biggest enemies is sitting right there across the table from you?

Certainly, space competition fears between Blue Origin and SpaceX cut in. But ultimately, what do you think they will achieve by giving small, in the case of the balance sheets, amounts towards Trump's inauguration? And indeed, these meetings where they're

showing off, I think Mark was showing off the meteor glasses and the latest innovations to President-elect Trump going forward. How is this sort of dovetailing into actually what they want to see from a legislative agenda?
Yeah, I think everyone sort of is in

agreement that the best way to stay on Donald Trump's good side is to praise and to show up and sort of demonstrate that with a public display of affection. Right.
Whether that be a $1,000,000 donation to the inaugural fund.
Showing up to dinner and making that

trek across the country to be there in person. And every one of these companies wants something different. But I think generally, if you want a blanket statement, they don't want him to come in hard with regulation around all the technology they're building,

especially with regards to A.I.
Right? Like the last thing Mark Zuckerberg wants, for example, is for the Trump administration to suddenly say, "Hey,
we're going to try to hamper this A.I. growth or we're going to make it very difficult for you, Mark Zuckerberg, in

particular, because you didn't show up to Mar-a-Lago and make Trump feel special," right?
And so I think they are all doing what they need to do just to simply be in his good graces and hope that those

relationships, because they are so important to the incoming president, those relationships will ultimately help them make their road easier over these next four years.

2016년과 현재 트럼프와의 기술 경영진 회의의 대비

많은 기술 기업 임원들이 Mar-a-Lago를 방문하면서 2016년과는 다른 분위기가 조성되고 있습니다.

2016년 트럼프 타워 회의는 기술 경영진에게 강요된 의무처럼 느껴졌습니다.

현재 회의는 보다 개별적이고 친근하게 진행되며, 저녁 식사는 Mar-a-Lago에서 제공됩니다.

같은 만찬에 엘론 머스크와 제프 베조스와 같은 경쟁자가 참석하면 어색한 분위기가 연출됩니다.

기술 경영진의 행동 동기와 잠재적 결과

경쟁사의 존재로 인해 트럼프와의 소통 가능성이 제한적입니다.

소액 기부의 효과에 의문을 제기하고 트럼프에게 혁신을 선보입니다.

트럼프에 대한 대중의 애정을 보여주는 것이 최선의 전략이라는 데 의견이 일치합니다.

기부, 개인 출연, 혁신 사례 소개 등의 방법이 있습니다.

트럼프 행정부에 대한 기술 기업의 목표와 우려 사항

기업들은 특히 AI와 관련된 엄격한 규제를 피하고 싶어 합니다.

트럼프에 대한 지지를 표명하지 않는 것에 대한 부정적인 결과에 대한 두려움.

목표는 트럼프와 좋은 관계를 유지하여 향후 더 수월한 운영을 보장하는 것입니다.

대통령과의 돈독한 관계는 앞으로의 4년을 헤쳐나가는 데 있어 매우 중요합니다.
