Curry favor with the trump admin

And it will undoubtedly pay off for them. This is the first brazenly tech oligarchy-driven administration.

Remember who was at Trump’s inauguration? Musk, obviously, but also:

  • Tim Cook, CEO of Apple
  • Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon
  • Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta
  • Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet

.
Trump, a populist president, is flanked by tech billionaires at his inauguration

Tim Apple isn’t your friend, either. No oligarch is.

I was hoping Apple wouldn’t be there considering Tim is openly gay

He donated to Trump right from his pockets. He’s a traitor.

Openly gay, but secretly a billionaire.

To be clear, they've changed names in line with official government policy before, not just for Trump's admin.

Yeah but that makes too much sense for emotional & reactional people that don't rely on logic

If something as ridiculous currys favor and infkuence with Trump the USA is truly coming to an end.
