Curry favor with the trump admin

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 69 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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

[–] dojan@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

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

And clarence thomas is black.

Openly gay, but secretly a billionaire.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] VeryVito@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 hours ago

I get what you’re saying, but the renaming itself is entirely an act of emotion and reaction, with no trace of logic, too. It’s pretty much all we should expect to see from anyone for a while.

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

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 3 points 10 hours ago

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.

I'll remind you of freedom fries.
