BI整理了一份可能成为特朗普新任科技得力助手的候选人名单,他们要么与特朗普有过生意往来,要么在特朗普的"复出之旅"中有所接触,或是与 特朗普亲近过。 马克·扎克伯格,Meta创始人兼首席执行官 扎克伯格今年早些时候曾是特朗普的"超级支持者"。他的公司Meta曾为特朗普的就职典礼捐赠了100万美元,而扎克本人甚至在那天晚上联合主办了 一场黑领结晚会,以此来庆祝这位连任的总统。 不过,随着Meta正面临联邦反垄断诉讼,扎克伯格可能已经不再是特朗普的"朋友"了。但扎克伯格可能在玩长远的棋局:他购买了一栋价值2300万 美元、面积达到15,000平方英尺的华盛顿特区豪宅,进一步加强了自己在首都的影响力。 此外,扎克也在进行品牌重塑,从一个穿着连帽衫的创始人变成了一个戴着金链、充满自信的CEO。这一转型的一部分是参与了播客节目,比如与 特朗普支持者乔·罗根(Joe Rogan)的访谈中,扎克谈到了自己的"男性气概"和打弓箭的兴趣。 导 语 : 特朗普非常看好AI的军备竞赛,奥特曼也准备好迎接这一浪潮。 我们或许刚刚见证了今年最混乱、最公开的分手:埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)和唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trum ...
