In recent weeks, the tech industry has been زيwed to theuple demands and schedules of President Donald Trump’s tariffs, particularly regarding the U.S. market. This has led some tech leaders—such as Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, Sundar Pichai, and Mark Zuckerberg—to appear silent on the topic, while sharing the culinary spotlight with former Trump allies like Elon Musk. Over the past week, the subject of Trump’s tariffs seems to be maintained at its dark, silent-side.

Moving back from the government, Cook, for instance, used his relationship with Trump to push on trade and immigration. Earlier this month, Cook handled a high-profile dinner at $1 million. Now, the White House withdrew plans to impose export controls on Nvidia GPUs.
There’s a backchannel system where tech leaders lobby for specific exemptions. Piecing together efforts with the Business Roundtable, which represents companies like Alphabet and Amazon, even if not direct, allows threat-laden leaders to take action relevant to their businesses. Much is being missed here; the CEO-like quietly领跑 has been overshadowed byHeap货币.
