Meta and OpenAI Bet on Cooperation With Trump Administration

Amid strained relations between Elon Musk and the White House, Mark Zuckerberg and Sam Altman have strengthened their ties with Donald Trump. At a recent White House dinner, Zuckerberg sat next to the U.S. president while Altman took a seat across the table. Visits from the Meta and OpenAI executives have become more frequent, and they have openly praised the Trump administration.

According to insiders, the tech giants are seeking government support to advance their artificial intelligence projects. Both companies have already been added to the list of approved U.S. government suppliers and aim to avoid excessive red tape while expanding commercial opportunities.

Nevertheless, skepticism remains in Washington regarding their closeness to Trump. Analysts see this alliance more as a marriage of convenience than a matter of shared ideology. Should the political winds shift after the elections, the stance of these tech leaders may change just as quickly.
