Commentary: Big Tech’s shift on Trump

Quick Summary:

Outrage over his 2016 election victory has given way to wariness but also anticipation of opportunities, says Richard Waters for the Financial Times.

Compared with the shock that galvanised opposition last time around, higher expectations of his victory have dulled the outrage among tech’s rank and file, dominated by Democratic supporters.

Trump’s promise that the Tesla and SpaceX chief executive will have a leading role in slashing costs across the federal government potentially puts him in a position of power over regulatory agencies he has feuded with repeatedly in the past.
