But it turns out they might be just as big sycophantic brown-nosers behind the scenes. According to a report from Wired, citing excerpts from an upcoming book by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, Trump appears to happily shared the suck-up texts that billionaires like Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos have sent to him.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/longhaulmovingpros.com\/?p=482\">Amazon MGM Studios Backs Out of Sam Altman Biopic Months After Amazon Gave OpenAI Tons of Money<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The accounts of Trump showing how the most powerful men in the world were groveling in his inbox will appear in the book \u201c<span>Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump,\u201d set to release on June 23. In it, Trump is quoted as telling White House guests, \u201cYou would not believe the texts I got from these tech guys. I\u2019ve got to show you.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>He purportedly then proceeded to show them, because how can you tease that and not give folks a peek? Per the story recounted by Wired, Trump apparently shared a text that Zuckerberg sent him that included a photo of a letter written by one of his children in which the little one wrote that they \u201clooked forward to the golden age of America.\u201d Using your child as a prop is bad enough, but telling them to spew propaganda in the process is some truly shameless behavior.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Of course, it looks like Meta\u2019s CEO wasn\u2019t alone in thinking a personal touch would really move Trump, rather than just give him even more material to mock him. Bezos purportedly at one point sent Trump a selfie of him and his then-fianc\u00e9e and now wife, Lauren S\u00e1nchez\u2014which, you really gotta wonder what the thought process there was. Trump should not exactly strike anyone as the kind of guy who is gonna tap the heart emoji on your pictures when you send them or respond with a selfie of him and Melania. Just how many of these messages from tech execs, if Wired\u2019s reporting is correct, got left on read only for them to come back with even more brown-nosing attempts would be fascinating to know.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/longhaulmovingpros.com\/?p=480\">\u201cThe Closet\u201d Is the Next Best Thing to Actually Getting an Invite to the Criterion Collection\u2019s Fabled Closet<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Notably, one of the people he reportedly showed the messages to was Elon Musk, who isn\u2019t exactly a man known for being fiercely independent of Trump\u2014the man literally jumped for Trump while on stage at a rally during the 2024 campaign, really literalizing the whole \u201cYou say \u2018Jump\u2019 and I say \u2018how high?&#8217;\u201d trope. But since Musk was in the room while the other execs weren\u2019t, he apparently got to be part of the mockers rather than the mockees\u2014though who knows who Trump has shared some of Musk\u2019s more pathetic texts with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThink of where these guys were in 2016,\u201d Trump reportedly told Musk during a meeting. \u201cThey hated me.
