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

“Congratulations to President @realDonaldTrump on his decisive victory. We are in a golden age of American innovation and are committed to working with his administration to help bring the benefits to everyone," Pichai said in a post on social media site X.

Bezos also took to X to congratulate Donald Trump.

“Big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory. No nation has bigger opportunities. Wishing @realDonaldTrump all success in leading and uniting the America we all love," Bezos said.

Tech leaders and Donald Trump have not had a warm relationship during the latter’s previous tenure as US President.

A report by the New York Times pointed out that Trump’s “personal vendetta" against Jeff Bezos cost Amazon a $10 billion contract with the US defence department.

Trump’s supporters have also been known to have been displeased with Google. The New York Times says that US vice president-elect JD Vance and other pro-Trump conservatives have accused Google of being biassed against conservatives.

Even during the polls, there was a minor glitch in Google which allegedly made it difficult for voters voting for Trump to allegedly find the polling booth they were looking for. Google resolved the issue but many conservatives blamed the tech giant of being partial towards the Republican.
