The USA tech corps are falling in with Trump, presumably so as to get favourable tax situations and such. That makes them subject to his vagaries.
Surely, Trump might rug pull your IT services if you're competing with someone who gave him a bribe is a massive reason to move.
Companies need to operate under the rule of law which is now vacant in USA.
With threats, no matter how stupid, to invade allies. What are European companies going to do when Trump has their compute switched off? Or trade embargoes are put in place because Trump tried to takeover Greenland?
These seem to be real risks to business continuation that arise out of Trump's politics.
Companies operate in these sorts of conditions all the time - always have done.
Buy off the junta that runs the place and you can do what you want. Oil companies, mining companies, clothing companies, all the same.
Normally the company is bigger than the people you’re bribing though, and that makes the USA unique, and more akin to working in North Korea rather than Nigeria.
