A video of Donald Trump’s unusual compliment for Sundar Pichai has surfaced online. It also captures Google’s Indian-origin CEO’s reaction to the president’s remark.
The clip shows Trump calling Sundar a “monster” while praising him during an interaction with the reporters.
The president added, “And the biggest people in the world signed that, and I signed it as president. In the video, Trump asks Pichai, “Sundar, you want to say something? What a great life! To be a monster and not have to go through this. All you have to know is – SUNDARR! Sundar is his name. An individual commented, “Another backhanded compliment by Trump. Another posted, “Sundar is so embarrassed. But yeah, nobody knows him… A fourth wrote, “Yep, literally nobody knows… The CEO of Alphabet. This interaction came after a meeting between the president and the tech executives at White House on voluntary standards for AI. The event included Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, Google’s Sundar Pichai, OpenAI’s Greg Brockman, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg. And it really is a form of protection.”
A third expressed, “Only has 11.7 million followers on X.
As the CEO starts, “First of all, thanks…”, the president cuts him off and continues, “This guy is a monster, and nobody knows him. In response, Pichai says, “Hopefully a better tagline than I’m a monster!” as people standing around them start laughing. “It’s almost like a constitution, in a way,” Trump said as he referred to the agreement between the companies.
