Andressen made it pretty clear on Rogan. Big wigs form all the companies set down with democrat brass and Biden administration regarding new technologies and AI. They laid out an authoritarian and dystopian plan moving forward where they controlled all information being fed into AI and new technologies. Seems most who attended walked out of that meeting decided they had to fight against this fascism.

They are all looking towards nuclear power for their data centers and need to be friendly with the administration to make that happen.


Microsoft has already invested in 3 Mile Isle to power their stuff.

Easy answer is because he won the popular vote by a fair margin despite their enormous financial contributions otherwise. It is their way of saying they were wrong without saying they were wrong.

Zuck has a big antitrust case against Meta coming up soon. He is probably wanting Trump on his side so Trump will influence the judges in a way that is beneficial to Zuck. And the other tech bros want the Trump tax cuts for the millionaires and billionaires. Their money is what they care about. Look how much richer Elon has gotten just since the election. Elon also wants to be freed from government regulations (OSHA and EPA) pertaining to his businesses.

Actually I wouldn’t mind your explaining to me your assertion about Elon “just since the election.” How much richer has he gotten and how is it tied, directly I assume is your assertion, to any influence of Trump?

Guys like Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Theil, Elon musk, and even Jeff Bezos. What has changed for these guys since his first term?


It's fake maga support to buy time for self preservation while Trump has full control of DC. Don't kid yourself into thinking their ideology has changed.
