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

Openly gay, but secretly a billionaire.

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

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

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

I'll remind you of freedom fries.

It's not coming to an end as in no longer existing, but it absolutely is as a world power. Maybe it will be for the better in the long run.
