Looks like the White House has rolled out the red carpet for some serious star power—Tim Cook of Apple, Andy Jassy of Amazon, and AMD’s very own Lisa Su! But wait, why are these titans of tech lounging in D.C.? It’s not for a tech summit; they’re there for an exclusive screening of the ‘Melania’ documentary. Yep, you heard that right.
Now, if you’re thinking, ‘What on Earth does a documentary about Melania Trump have to do with Apple’s latest iPhone or Amazon’s drone delivery service?’, well, you’re not alone. Apparently, having a gold-and-Gorilla-Glass statue, shelling out a cool million in donations, and enduring boundless flattery opens up access to VIP events like this one. And what’s cooler than watching a state-sanctioned film about the former First Lady? (Spoiler: not much, apparently.)
Between the chips and tech debates, they’re now tuning in to a cinematic celebration of a life lived under the glare of the public eye. As we continue to navigate through the waters of politics and celebrity culture, one must wonder: are documentaries about political figures the new catnip for Silicon Valley bigwigs? I guess you have to watch and find out.
So, what’d you think—should tech leaders stick to tech, or is this crossover worth a watch? Drop your thoughts below!
