Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos on Wednesday congratulated US President-elect Donald Trump as the projected winner of the 2024 US presidential election.

“Congratulations to President @realDonaldTrump on his decisive victory. We are living through a golden age of American innovation and are committed to working with his administration to benefit everyone,” Pichai said in a post on social media X.

Bezos also went to X to congratulate Donald Trump.

“Big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President on his remarkable political comeback and decisive victory. No nation has greater opportunities. I wish @realDonaldTrump every success in leading and uniting the America we all love,” Bezos said.

Tech CEOs and Donald Trump did not have a cordial relationship during the latter’s previous tenure as US president.

Report New York Times noted that Trump’s “personal vendetta” against Jeff Bezos cost Amazon a $10 billion contract with the US Department of Defense.

It is also known that Trump supporters were unhappy with Google. New York Times says US Vice President-elect J.D. Vance and other pro-Trump conservatives have accused Google of bias against conservatives.

Even during the election, Google experienced a small glitch that supposedly made it difficult for Trump voters to find the polling booth they were looking for. Google solved the problem, but many conservatives accused the tech giant of being partial to Republicans.
