People in power tend not to pivot right for the greater good.

That was always going to happen since Biden decided to let the coup go unpunished, and allowed every fed agency to continue to increasingly fail in their statutory duties not the least the Justice Department, and otherwise sucked so much he handed the world to these republicans.

I told you so.

About a decade late on that one, bud.

Billionaires care ONLY about themselves, not even their own families, just themselves. And, in that regard, they care mostly about accumulating more power (money). You might think, 'if it's power they want, why don't more of them run for political office?' Because, the politicians work for the billionaires, also, billionaires want power without responsibility.

No one should be surprised Billionaires support the far right.

He needn't bother criticising them now when he's spent the last ten years sucking up to them and taking their money. I could not give a shit what he has to say. Fucking sellout.

Cambridge Analytica confirmed this in 2016.

MAGA is not "politics". It is the mental illnesses[0] sympathetic to fascism masquerading as political ideology, spread through indoctrination and disinformation; through algorithmically-optimized psychological warfare.

[0] all mental disorders characterized by low/zero empathy such as narcissism, ASPD, psychopathy, etc. Racist parents indoctrinate racist kids. Religious parents indoctrinate religious kids. Both are achieved through the suppression of empathy and critical thought (e.g. being woke).

They do this regardless of whose in power. they lean into whatever the current administrations policies are to benefit themselves. They've always done this. If a democrat wins next time (hopefully there is one) then they''ll all shift their policies yet again to align with that administrations. rinse and repeat.

Seems like silicon valley goes downhill every year.

Clegg is still working for them, though, isn't he?

Companies pursue profits. If the country is corrupt and a company playing into it makes more money, they will do that. Americans only have themselves to blame for letting maga win, and all the repercussions.

Anyone in tech in the bay shouldn't be surprised.

The bay area is quite liberal, but then there are a lot of people who move there for work, people who want to run their tech businesses in the tech capitol. They go to silicon valley, buy homes in the bay, and usually stay out of politics because that's generally the right way to go in the workplace.

However, they are not necessarily liberal, and often very money centered, the kind of greedy fucks who get upset that tax dollars might pay for social services. You have everything from liberals, anarchists, libertarians, to alt right fascists. There is a wide mix of beliefs and people mostly just stick to the tech and keep getting paid, because that's called being rational.

Is it surprising that these executive who "stayed out of politics" are now adopting MAGA ideology? Fuck no. The tech execs have always been the more conservative and greedy of tech. Their politics are "make me rich, bitch". MAGA is pro AI. They want to invest in AI. It's as simple as that for the most part, except some are a bit more racist and transphobic than normal and might like that aspect too. But most could not give a fuck as long as their car has doors that open up ways

You should probably still post all your thoughts, pictures of everything you do, and every location you visit on their platforms though. It'd be too much of a personal hardship to stop.

hmm.. he thinks?

It's not that they are MAGA or even Republican. It's that the tax posture benefits them.

Hahaha, you're so full of crap Nick. You never "Shunned politics", you played it whichever way was best for you in the moment.

Remember Cambridge Analytica?
