sounds like pouring honey to ease the bees. Did not think Zuck to be so sugary.
Liberal heads exploded in helpless outrage yesterday when NPR ran a surprising story yesterday headlined, “Tech moguls Altman, Bezos and Zuckerberg donate to Trump's inauguration fund.”
Three tech titans —OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Meta/Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and Amazon/WaPo CEO Jeff Bezos— each pledged a million dollars toward Trump’s inauguration. The story also reported that Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai will soon meet with Trump, and Salesforce’s CEO Marc Benioff recently said “we are turning the page” with President Trump.
Benioff also owns Time Magazine, which yesterday declared Trump Man of the Year.
NPR blandly reported these tech leaders are courting the President-Elect, hoping for a favorable regulatory climate under the incoming Administration. “The tech industry wants to get the regulatory threat off their backs,” explained Margaret O'Mara, a ‘Silicon Valley historian’ at the overstaffed University of Washington.
But nobody believes that. At least, not as the entire explanation.
Doesn’t it seem more likely the tech leaders are painfully aware that Trump knows they all helped Biden cheat his way into office in 2020, and then spent four years trashing the President? What’s that old Ralph Waldo Emerson gag? Something like, “if you strike at the King, you must kill him.” Or words to that effect.
NPR admitted that inauguration donations are not uncommon. But NPR observed that it was the publicity —the coverage — that was unusual this time.
NPR completely missed the irony that it controls how much coverage inaugural donations receive.
These rich fuckers rigged it in 2020 and fucked up this year with Kamala. They have to tuck dick and bow down to Trump.
