Some of the biggest names in tech met Wednesday with Trump — a candidate many of them opposed in the campaign and came away with a pledge from the president-elect for an open door policy with Silicon Valley.
I’m here to help you folks do well,” Trump said.
“Anything we can do to help this go along, we’re going to be there for you. You’ll call my people, you’ll call me, it doesn’t matter. We have no formal chain of command around here,” Trump told the techies.
Trump was flanked by Peter Thiel, a founder of PayPal, and an early supporter and Vice President-elect Mike Pence. Gary Cohn of Goldman Sachs and Wilbur Ross, two recent appointments to the Trump administration, were also on hand.
Trump’s grown children, Donald Jr, Ivanka and Eric, all members of the Trump transition team, were all seated at the table as well.
The goal of the meeting was “to discuss job creation and economic growth,” said transition spokesman Sean Spicer.
Among those attending were: Tim Cook of Apple, Larry Page and Eric Schmidt of Alphabet, Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook, Elon Musk of Tesla, Saya Nadella of Microsoft; Jeff Bezos of Amazon; Brian Krzanich of Intel and Chuck Robbins of Cisco.
