Jensen Huang Still Waiting for Mar-a-Lago Invite: Wants to ‘Help’ Trump Administration Succeed

• Nvidia boss Jensen Huang has revealed he has still not been invited to President-elect Donald Trump’s home base in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
• Huang said he would like to help the new administration succeed.
• Nvidia’s future development speed depends heavily on the moves made by Trump’s upcoming administration.
• Big Tech has been adjusting its policies in an attempt to align with the upcoming President’s outlook.

With less than two weeks to go until Donald Trump’s inauguration, Big Tech leaders, including Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg, have been meeting with the President-elect.

Now, the world’s largest chipmaker, Nvidia, is looking to gain the President’s respect, who has promised to lift the guardrails on artificial intelligence development in the U.S.

Jensen Huang Wants to Help Trump

Nvidia boss Jensen Huang revealed to Bloomberg  that he had not yet received an invitation to Trump’s home base at Mar-a-Lago in Florida.

“I’d be delighted to go see him and congratulate him, and do whatever we can to make this administration succeed,” Huang said.

“We will give them as much insight as we can from our perspective,” he said. “I am sure the administration will make the right moves.” he added.

As the boss of the world’s second-largest company, at the center of the current AI boom, Huang has yet to make acquaintance with the president-elect.

OpenAI boss Sam Altman, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg have all attended the residence separately over the past few months.

Nvidia’s AI Future

The future of Nvidia’s AI outlook and the speed at which it achieves its goals depend heavily on the moves made by Trump’s upcoming administration.

Trump previously suggested he plans to implement a universal tariff on foreign imports, which could significantly affect companies like Nvidia that rely on international supply chains and markets.

Nvidia’s manufacturing heavily depends on overseas partners, particularly Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, which produces its advanced GPUs.

Imposing tariffs on imports from countries like Taiwan could increase production costs, potentially squeezing profit margins and affecting pricing strategies.

However, as the boss of the world’s leading chip manufacturer, Huang is a valuable asset to Trump’s goal of making the U.S. a leading technology superpower.

Big Tech Cozying Up to Trump

In anticipation of Trump’s administration, Big Tech has been adjusting its policies and strategies in an attempt to align with the President-elect’s outlook.

On Tuesday, Zuckerberg announced  significant changes to Meta’s content moderation practices.

The company plans to end third-party fact-checking on platforms like Facebook and Instagram, replacing it with a Community Notes system inspired by Elon Musk’s approach on X.

Additionally, Meta said it would be lifting certain speech restrictions on topics such as immigration and gender, aiming to simplify policies and reduce perceived censorship.

The Meta CEO even praised Musk’s social media platform, noting that the company had seen community notes work on X: “where they empower their community to decide when posts are potentially misleading and need more context.”

This is a far cry from 2023 when the two billionaires discussed setting up a “cage match”  with UFC’s Dana White.

With Musk now gaining a seat at the table of Trump’s administration, it is clear that other tech giants are beginning to get fear of missing out.

However, whether that FOMO from tech leaders will flourish into a four-year friendship with Trump’s administration has yet to be seen.
