Donald Trump’s return to the White House has already triggered major shifts in tech policy, with executive actions reversing previous regulations and setting a new course for AI, encryption, and government technology.
Key moves so far include halting the TikTok ban, rolling back the Biden administration’s AI order, and reworking federal tech oversight. Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has stirred controversy, with reports of unauthorized access to federal payment systems and storming NOAA’s weather forecasting offices, raising cybersecurity and transparency concerns.
Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg met with the White House to discuss Meta’s role in American tech leadership, while Trump reignited a fight against California’s high-speed rail project, calling for investigations into its budget overruns. The administration also fired CFPB director Rohit Chopra, a move likely to ease regulations on financial tech and data privacy.
With new tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China looming, and Musk’s allies pushing an AI-first approach in government, Trump’s tech policies are shaping up to be just as disruptive as his first term—if not more. The next 100 days could redefine the relationship between Big Tech and Washington.
