Threats like the ones Powell's receiving would be the end of any other presidency. Why tech elites continue to align themselves with this clownshow will be a source of incredible shame that I'll hold onto forever.

Mafioso politics

The tech CEOs will have to do a whole lot of explaining, relocating and, perhaps, other things once this clown show is gone after 2028

I really wish that were true but they won’t. They’ll just keep on keeping on.

As I've written in another post, everyone is doomed to either align or face his rage.

So, better face his rage then. If those are the options the choice is clear and easy.

I think a lot of largest tech companies feel that they'll face retribution from the current administration for not being supportive enough but would not from future admins.

For many of the smaller players I think there's unfortunately a lot of people who realized there's significant money to be made in grifting. Many of the largest crypto proponents have pivoted into endeavors, whether crypto or otherwise, that profit off of being rewarded for being part of the 'correct' tribe.

Hopefully we get the opportunity to disabuse them of this notion.

The Democrats should play hardball but the geriatrics can barely take a swing.

I would be heavily predisposed to vote for any candidate who had a public goal of breaking up the big tech companies and taxing their CEOs into oblivion. I want this primarily because of the immediate about-face they all had when Trump 2.0 was elected and them all contributing to and standing behind him during his inauguration. Had they not, mercifully, all shown themselves as the snakes that they are I probably would have mostly continued to considere them a-political-ish and not been strongly opinionated.
