I wonder how much the tech bros are going to regret having bent over for Trump in 2028 when a Democrat is sitting in the Whitehouse looking at rolling out some retribution using the new legal tools the Trump team succeeded in securing during his second term. We might see some heavy regulation descending onto the industry as a response.

On the other hand, the long term trend of billionaires and large companies getting their way politically will likely continue.

If it's a Democrat like Gavin "I will protect the wealthy" Newsom I don't think they'll have any regrets at all.

Why would the Democrats do that?

How is a Democrat going to be sitting in the Whitehouse when Trump/Vance is still there with a large contingency of loyal armed ICE agents looking to target dissenters?

Isn't Democrats retaliating just the status quo for them?

Democrats have been picking on the poor tech billionaires ever since the Cambridge Analytica scandal, when they were thought to be at fault for getting Trump elected.

I'm going to guess they'll have fled the country with their winnings by then.
