Curry favor with the trump admin

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 73 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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

[–] doleo@lemmy.one 32 points 2 days ago

Openly gay, but secretly a billionaire.

And clarence thomas is black.

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

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

To be clear, they've changed names in line with official government policy before, not just for Trump's admin.

[–] timewarp@lemmy.world -3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yeah but that makes too much sense for emotional & reactional people that don't rely on logic

[–] VeryVito@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day 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.

They are a private organization with the right to say “lol that’s nice”, and leave it as the gulf of mexico. Executive orders direct government policy.

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

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 17 points 2 days ago

I'll remind you of freedom fries.

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.
