The biggest names in tech just made nice with Trump

The Washington Post: NEW YORK CITY — A dozen or so technology executives filed into a conference room on the 25th floor of Trump Tower Wednesday wearing suits not usually seen in Silicon Valley. Their combined net worth — at least $136 billion — was gilded even for the likes of Trump Tower. After months of acrimony that at times felt personal, they had come to make nice with President-elect Donald Trump.

And make nice they did. As they went around the room introducing themselves one-by-one, Amazon chief executive Jeffrey P. Bezos, once the target of Trump's attacks, said he was “super-excited to talk about innovation in this administration.” Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg was also “excited to talk about jobs,” according to a pool report from the opening moments of the meeting. (Bezos is the owner of The Washington Post.)
