Mark Zuckerberg , Elon Musk and Amazon 's Jeff Bezos embrace President Trump .

Tech titans are less willing to question the president's decision to pull out of the Paris climate pact.

The tech industry's energy needs have grown in part because of power-hungry data centers related to AI and other technologies.

Tech CEOs joined a coalition that has vowed to help the U.S. achieve its promised emissions reductions.

Microsoft , Apple , Google and Facebook all pledged to cut carbon emissions in 2020 .

The next year , Joe Biden became president and immediately rejoined the Paris Agreement .

Analysts and advocates expect the companies to continue pursuing their carbon-cutting commitments in the second Trump era.
