  • After President-elect Donald Trump won the United States' 2024 presidential race and enjoyed a narrow victory over Vice-President Kamala Harris, some CEOs who had been critical of Trump in the past reached out to him
  • including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

The article from MSN discusses how CEOs and media executives are preemptively aligning with Donald Trump's interests out of fear of potential repercussions should he win the 2024 presidential election. It highlights a pattern of behavior where business leaders, including those from major corporations like NBCUniversal and News Corp, are either avoiding criticism of Trump or actively supporting him to safeguard their business interests. This behavior is driven by Trump's history of retaliating against companies and individuals who oppose him, through means like regulatory actions or public shaming. The article suggests that this capitulation is not only a response to Trump's past actions but also a strategic move to curry favor, potentially influencing media coverage and corporate policy in anticipation of his possible return to power. This trend is seen as a broader reflection of how Trump's influence continues to shape corporate and media landscapes even before the election.
