IBM

IBM is a multinational technology company. It is in the news currently due to two separate events. Firstly, a former IBM employee, Issam Hijazi, founded a social media application called UpScrolled, which is gaining popularity as an alternative to TikTok following TikTok's US takeover. Hijazi's prior experience at IBM is being highlighted in reports about UpScrolled's origins. Secondly, Gary Cohn, IBM's vice chairman and a former economic advisor to President Trump, made a statement regarding Greenland's ownership, asserting that "Greenland will stay Greenland." This comment is newsworthy given Cohn's past role in the Trump administration and the historical interest Trump expressed in purchasing Greenland. These events, while unrelated, demonstrate IBM's continued relevance through its influence on the tech landscape and the public profile of its executives.
