Tech CEOs Praise Donald Trump at White House Dinner
-
The scene opens confusingly. The camera zooms too close to the president’s face; the table at which the tech executives are seated seems far too long. Mark Zuckerberg is there, and Bill Gates and Tim Cook and Satya Nadella and Sam Altman and on and on, a baker’s dozen or so of Silicon Valley’s most powerful people—cutthroat competitors all—united here to pledge allegiance to Donald Trump.

Alternative Title: Donald Trump has a praise kink
Not news.
Edit: While factual, it is not new information.

He’s busy sucking Trump’s Toes.
Apparently dismantling USAID and undoing all of his humanitarian efforts doesn’t bother him enough to not be important in the room.
It does make me sigh to see him go back on his philanthropic past, but he was absolutely cut throat in creating MS.

These men are more than powerful enough to go against Trump
Was just discussing this with my wife last night — are they?
This time around, there is zero oversight, no checks and balances worth mentioning. Donald Quixote has pretty much carte blanche, complete power. If they went against him, he could fine them (their companies), levy crazy taxes or tariffs, kill government contracts and subsidies, and nobody could stop him. Even if a non-evil judge halts an executive order, it will eventually get to the Subpreme Court, get overturned, basically no more than a delay.
I understand that they could still Do The Right Thing
, throw themselves in their sword in protest, but they’re all publicly traded, must have Boards. Most (?) of these men can just be fired if they go against the shareholders.Could they really do anything that would be more than a symbolic gesture?
That’s my thinking too. If the normal rules applied, then sure they could put up a good fight, maybe even win. In the era of rule by fiat and compliant courts? Not so sure. Although at this stage they can probably outlive him.
