Tech relishes role as Trump antagonist
Tech companies are becoming President Trump's chief antagonists in the business world.
On a number of issues, Silicon Valley is directly challenging the administration's policies more forcefully than other industries.
Microsoft is suing the administration for ending the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which provided legal protections for certain immigrants brought to the country illegally as children.
IBM has also take a lead role in that fight, filing briefs with the court in favor of the program and having CEO Ginni Rometty press lawmakers for a legislative fix.
Tech companies have also taken a lead in criticizing Trump's new tariffs, worrying it could raise production costs, disrupt critical supply chains and discourage foreign investment in their industry.
