America’s schools are falling behind in preparing students for the future.
Now some of the biggest names in technology are sounding the alarm.
And America’s tech giants just blindsided the education establishment with one bombshell announcement that will change everything.
Silicon Valley bigwigs rally behind Trump’s education revolution
Satya Nadella, Marc Benioff, and Michael Dell are among the more than 250 tech leaders who just joined forces with President Trump’s bold AI education agenda – endorsing his push to make computer science a cornerstone of American education.
The coalition of tech executives wasted no time backing the President’s vision, issuing their statement just days after Trump’s sweeping Executive Order on “Advancing Artificial Intelligence Education for American Youth,” which established a White House Task Force on Artificial Intelligence Education and ordered a new Presidential AI Challenge for students.
“In the age of AI, we must prepare our children for the future — to be AI creators, not just consumers,” the group declared in their joint statement. “A basic foundation in computer science and AI is crucial for helping every student thrive in a technology-driven world. Without it, they risk falling behind.”
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, IBM’s Arvind Krishna, LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, and Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth are just a few of the heavyweight executives signing onto the initiative.
Big Tech’s shocking claim about your kid’s paycheck
These billionaire tech moguls aren’t just worried about beating China – they’re claiming your kid’s wallet is on the line too.
Their pitch? Take just one high school computer science course and – boom – your wages jump 8% higher for all students, regardless of career path or whether they attend college.
The Silicon Valley elites even threw out a mind-blowing number: $660 billion. That’s how much economic potential they say could be unlocked every year for everyday Americans by making computer science and AI a required part of education.
The tech CEOs’ push aligns perfectly with President Trump’s new Executive Order, which laid out comprehensive plans for K-12 AI education, teacher training programs, and public-private partnerships to advance AI literacy in American classrooms.
“This is not just an educational issue; it’s about closing skills and income gaps that have persisted for generations,” the group stated.
Communist China is eating our lunch while American kids can’t code
The red flags are everywhere – America is getting its butt kicked in the global tech race by countries that don’t think twice about forcing kids to learn coding.
Countries like Brazil, China, South Korea, and Singapore have already made computer science or AI mandatory for every student. No exceptions, no debate, no parental choice.
Meanwhile, a pathetic 12 states require American students to learn even the basics of how computers actually work. The other 38 states? They’re too busy teaching kids about other priorities.
President Trump recognized this national security threat in his April 23 Executive Order, stating that “To ensure the United States remains a global leader in this technological revolution, we must provide our Nation’s youth with opportunities to cultivate the skills and understanding necessary to use and create the next generation of AI technology.”
“We have a responsibility to prepare the next generation for the new American Dream,” the coalition emphasized. “We owe it to them to provide an education that reflects the demands of our time.”
The tide is turning as Jeb Bush jumps on the bandwagon
The tech takeover of America’s classrooms isn’t just some pie-in-the-sky dream – it’s already happening right under parents’ noses.
In the past 10 years, all 50 states have taken steps forward with computer science education. An army of 100,000 teachers has started teaching computer science across the country.
And guess what? The elites from both political parties are all-in. When’s the last time Democrats and Republicans agreed on anything education-related?
Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush – yes, THAT Jeb Bush – slapped his signature right alongside the Silicon Valley crowd as founder and chair of his ExcelInEd organization. When establishment Republicans and big tech liberals are suddenly best friends, you know something’s up.
President Trump’s Administration has taken decisive action to accelerate AI education with his Executive Order establishing a White House Task Force on Artificial Intelligence Education. The order directs multiple agencies to prioritize AI education and mandates the creation of partnerships between the federal government, industry, and academia.
Tech leaders demand action now
The CEO coalition made it clear that incremental progress isn’t enough. They’re calling for computer science and AI education to become required components of every school’s curriculum immediately.
“How can we accept this?” the group asked. “We must make computer science and AI a required part of every school’s curriculum.”
The group’s urgent call to action puts significant pressure on education officials and policymakers at both the state and federal levels to accelerate computer science initiatives.
“In the age of AI, we must prepare our children for the future — to be AI creators, not just consumers,” the group declared in their joint statement. “A basic foundation in computer science and AI is crucial for helping every student thrive in a technology-driven world. Without it, they risk falling behind.”
These words echo almost exactly President Trump’s Executive Order, which states that “early learning and exposure to AI concepts not only demystifies this powerful technology but also sparks curiosity and creativity, preparing students to become active and responsible participants in the workforce of the future and nurturing the next generation of American AI innovators to propel our Nation to new heights of scientific and economic achievement.”
The prominent tech leaders backing Trump’s AI vision include:

- Marc Benioff (Salesforce founder worth billions)
- Michael Dell (Computer pioneer worth $73 billion)
- Robert Smith (Vista Equity Partners founder and chairman)
- Dara Khosrowshahi (Uber CEO)
- Eric Yuan (Zoom founder and CEO)
- Stephen Schwarzman (Blackstone chairman)
- Alex Karp (Palantir co-founder)
- Andrew Bosworth (Meta CTO)
- Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn founder)
