Trump Thinks 6G Is a Creepy High-Def Skin Scanner, CEO Nods Silently
KEY POINTS
- â˘President Donald Trump praised his leadership on 5G during a live TV event in 2022.
- â˘He questioned 6G technology, wondering if it provides a detailed look into people's skin.
- â˘Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon was present but chose not to correct Trump's misunderstanding.
On a day destined for tech awkwardness, President Donald Trump dazzled Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon with an insightful question: 'What does 6G do? Give you a little bit deeper view into somebody's skin?' Despite being heralded as the 5G trailblazer, Trump seemed to suspect 6G might be hijacking dermatologists' work rather than telecom's. This moment unfolded on live TV, presumably somewhere fancy and Wi-Fi enabled around 2022 or so. Qualcomm, the company behind the ultra-fast 5G standard, stayed mute, presumably calculating whether to redefine 'diplomacy' as 'silent confusion.' Meanwhile, business suits continue to casually cram 'AI,' '8K,' and '5G' into one sentence, seemingly just to keep us guessing if anyone actually understands anything.

Trumpâs new tech pitch: '6Gânow with the bonus feature of judging your skin pores in HD!' Qualcomm CEO was wisely silent, saving face (and possibly sanity).
If 5G was confusing, 6G apparently doubles as a dermatologistâTrumpâs confused tour guide.
Trump trying to explain 6G is like a caveman explaining quantum physics to a toaster.
