The most powerful leaders in the tech industry are trying out a new playbook to engage Donald Trump, who has been historically opposed to their dominance: in-person dining. A steady stream of some of the biggest names in technology — Meta Platforms Inc.’s Mark Zuckerberg, Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Amazon.com Inc.’s Jeff Bezos — have all made pilgrimages to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Florida to meet with the president-elect, a stark reversal from his 2016 victory, when many business leaders kept their distance, instead currying favor by hiring well-connected lobbyists. “EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE MY FRIEND!!!,” Trump posted to Truth Social recently. That remark echoes a comment he made during a press conference drawing a contrast with his first term when “everyone was fighting” to now, with corporate executives clamoring to dine with him on his Palm Beach resort’s patio. Trump is the first Republican in the last 20 years to win the popular vote.
