President-elect Donald Trump, speaking at his Mar-a-Lago estate, highlighted a significant shift in his relationship with business leaders since his first term, noting that 'everybody wants to be my friend' this time around. This change in attitude comes as tech executives from companies like Apple, Alphabet, Google, and Amazon have sought meetings with him. Trump referenced recent discussions with Apple CEO Tim Cook, Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai, former Alphabet President Sergey Brin, and mentioned an upcoming meeting with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. He described the outreach from the business community as a stark contrast to his first term, where he faced opposition from many in the industry. Trump also announced a $100 billion investment from SoftBank Group Corp. following his meeting with CEO Masayoshi Son. He attributed the change in business leaders' attitudes to a change in his own personality, saying, 'I don’t know, my personality changed or something.' The president-elect's comments reflect a broader rightward turn in the tech sphere, with figures like Elon Musk taking on roles in his administration.
