Trump 2.0 will have a massive impact on AI, chips and other crucial tech issues

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : But Trump has expressed views on a variety of important tech topics, and it is also reasonable to take into account the views and motivations of key advisors including Elon Musk, who has emerged in the last few months of the presidential campaign as one of Trump's most important and trusted allies.
54% : Also on the subject of China, Trump has changed his mind on the banning of TikTok, which he favored during his first term.
52% : Trump intends to put Musk in charge of reorganizing the U.S. government, which could provide opportunities for Musk's xAI and his other companies.
47% : The way Trump handles China will also determine the near-term future of the chip industry, with knock-on effects on everything from AI to automotive.
41% : Although Biden and the Democrats have also been tough on China, curbing the export of the most poweful AI chips to the country and trying hard to kill China's ability to make its own advanced chips using Western technology, Trump could well ignite a full-scale trade war with China.
41% : That bill passed anyway, and the clock is now ticking for ByteDance, but Trump -- who joined TikTok in June -- could change that.
40% : Trump's campaign manifesto included a pledge to repeal Biden's 2023 executive order on AI, which was a first step towards regulating against multiple AI risks -- according to Trump, these were "Radical Leftwing ideas.
38% : The tech industry has been nervous about what Trump, who now has his own social network in the form of Truth Social, might do about Section 230 the second time around.
30% : Trump is no fan of regulating AI companies, and the same can be said for backers like venture capitalist Marc Andreessen.
27% : Trump recently called Google "rigged", but he hasn't said whether he will pursue a breakup.
21% : Trump also tried to roll back parts of a key law known as Section 230 during his first term, though Biden cancelled his executive order on the subject.
20% : So here is a quick rundown of what Trump 2.0 probably means for issues such as AI, antitrust, and semiconductors.
19% : Trump this year called Facebook "an enemy of the people," though CEO Mark Zuckerberg then went out of his way to appear neutral during the election.
18% : It remains to be seen how Trump addresses China's longstanding desire to invade and annex Taiwan, which Beijing regards as a renegade province.
17% : Meanwhile, Trump has derided Biden's CHIPS Act, which provides heavy incentives for chipmakers to set up manufacturing on U.S. soil, as "so bad."
5% : Amazon and Trump famously tangled during his first administration, but chairman and founder Jeff Bezos recently stopped his Washington Post from endorsing Kamala Harris, in a move widely seen as an attempt to appease Trump.
