Bloomberg interviewed Monument founder, Stewart Verdery, about how the biggest tech companies, which need more from Washington than ever as their marquee innovation, artificial intelligence, becomes an engine for growth in the US economy and threatens to upend every part of daily life, are trying to curry favor with the Trump administration.
Stewart Verdery, founder of lobbying firm Monument Advocacy, said there has been “both a truce and a budding relationship between the tech industry and the Trump administration.”
“The leaders of these companies have realized the president expects that CEOs are going to have facetime with him, that they’re going to be in his office, going to do events with him,” Verdery said.
