More reactions are coming in from the tech industry as the US wakes up.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos congratulated Trump on “an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory.”
“No nation has bigger opportunities,” he said. “Wishing @realDonaldTrump all success in leading and uniting the America we all love.”
Bezos, who also owns the Washington Post, faced criticism last week after he defended the newspaper’s decision not to endorse a Presidential candidate this year.
Cameron Winklevoss, co-founder of exchange Gemini, reflected the buoyant mood among the crypto industry this morning. In his campaign, Trump described his plan to turbocharge crypto growth and turn the US into a crypto mining powerhouse.
“Imagine how much we are going to accomplish in the next 4 years now that the crypto industry won’t be hemorrhaging $ billions on legal fees fighting the SEC and instead investing this money into building the future of money,” he said. “Amazing awaits.”
The CEO of betting platform Polymarket described the result as a vindication of his business model. “Polymarket single-handedly called the election before anything else,” Shayne Coplan said. He claimed the Trump team found out they were winning from Polymarket.
Marc Andreessen, general partner of venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, also expressed optimism. “It’s time to build,” he said, echoing an earlier statement made by Elon Musk.
