After the results of the US presidential election were announced, the leaders of several large technology companies sent congratulatory messages to President-elect Trump, expressing hope for his success upon returning to the White House and looking forward to working with his administration. The stock prices of major technology companies rose on Wednesday, except for Meta, which had previously suspended Trump's account.

Amazon's founder and executive director, Bezos, celebrated Trump's victory on X platform, calling it an "extraordinary political comeback and a decisive victory."

Bezos also owns The Washington Post and founded the space company Blue Origin. Bezos' relationship with Trump has always been rocky, with Trump frequently criticizing Bezos during his first term, questioning his motives for owning The Washington Post, criticizing Amazon's tax records, and its relationship with the United States Postal Service.

Bezos had also expressed dissatisfaction with Trump, posting on social media in 2015, "#sendDonaldtospace". However, Bezos has recently shown a more conciliatory attitude, praising Trump for his courage during an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania in July. Bezos has only posted on X twice this year, both mentioning Trump. Furthermore, when The Washington Post's editorial board decided to endorse Harris, Bezos vetoed the decision.

After stepping down as Amazon CEO in 2021, Bezos was succeeded by Andy Jassy, who also congratulated Trump.

Jassy wrote on X, "Congratulations to the President-elect @realDonaldTrump on your victory in this difficult election. We look forward to working with you and your administration to focus on issues vital to our customers, employees, community, and country."

Amazon's stock price hit a record high during Wednesday's session, rising by nearly 4% to close at $207.09.

OpenAI CEO Altman posted on X, expressing hopes for Trump to "achieve great success in work". In subsequent posts, he wrote, "Ensuring the leadership of AI development in the United States while upholding democratic values is crucial".

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg described Trump's election as a "decisive victory" and expressed anticipation to collaborate with the Trump administration. Zuckerberg posted on the Threads platform under Meta, stating, "Our country has huge opportunities in the future". However, Zuckerberg's relationship with Trump has also been inconsistent, as after the Capitol riots on January 6, 2021, Facebook disabled Trump's account for two years.

Meta's stock price fell by up to 3% in Wednesday's intraday trading, then narrowed its decline to $572.05.

As a staunch supporter of Trump, Tesla CEO Musk naturally welcomed Trump's victory.

Elon Musk was an important ally of Trump during his presidential campaign, Trump promised during the campaign that if elected, he would appoint Musk as the head of the Government Efficiency Committee. In addition, Musk previously donated nearly $75 million to the America PAC, a super political action committee supporting Trump. Tesla's stock price rose over 14% during Wednesday's trading, with investors optimistic about the potential benefits of Trump's election.

Google's parent company Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai also congratulated Trump and expressed willingness to collaborate with the incoming president's government. Alphabet's stock price rose nearly 4% during Wednesday's trading.

Microsoft CEO Nadella said in a statement:"Congratulations President Trump, we look forward to working with you and your government to drive innovation and create new growth and opportunities for the USA and globally." Microsoft's stock price briefly rose over 2% during Wednesday's trading.

Cisco's founder and CEO, Chuck Robbins, posted on X that the company looks forward to cooperating with Trump and Congress on policies related to "connectivity, innovation, and cybersecurity." Cisco's stock price closed up 3.04% on Wednesday.

Box CEO Aaron Levie also congratulated Trump. He wrote on X, "A crazy journey. Congratulations to @realDonaldTrump on becoming president again. The greatness of America lies in the fact that we are at the beginning of a rocket launch, and can continue to accelerate under the right policies and execution."

Dell CEO and Chairman Michael Dell also expressed his congratulations on X.
