Mark Zuckerberg starts Meta earnings call by praising Trump administration

[whatamlemmy@lemmy.world]

Those oligarchs are still avoiding public scrutiny, working behind the scenes. They've been funding both parties the entire god damn time.

While Trump is obviously more dangerous and corrupt, and far less trustworthy than average... those oligarchs could not care less. They have more in common with a Russian or Chinese oligarch than they do with 99.999% of the American population. They have homes around the world; fallout shelters and citizenship in NZ, as well as the EU or Singapore. They have private security teams that cost more per year than you or I will make in a lifetime. Whatever happens, they'll remain protected by all mainstream political parties the world over. Trump is a dementia patient. He doesn't read anything he signs (like most of congress). He's literally just a doormat for moneyed interests. The cost to bribe him is 1/1000th the tax cuts he gives them. The ROI is a no brainier. They're not afraid of theocracy or fascism. They're the ones implementing it.

In a rich man's house, there's no where to spit except for his face.

Does all this sound like they're actually loving Trump or are there credible threat to their health from the Trump admin? They seemed to fall into line so smoothly and fast that it seems a bit weird.

[kandoh@reddthat.com]

They think they're going to make a lot of money through mergers, acquisitions, and monopolization. All they need to do is suck a little dick publicly

[tyfud@lemmy.world]

The thing is, most billionaires are sociopaths. You don't get there without being able to treat people like cattle, and consider yourself far, far, far above everyone else.

They're all late game capitalist oligarchs, which almost always trends towards fascism in the end. It's no surprise, it's been happening for a while now, we're just the biggest country to fall under this spell.

They don't have any morals or ethics, they only have one purpose: Make more money at any expense to build their dragon hoard further.

They'll praise trump and suck his dick if it doubles their earnings. That's all they ever cared about. And trump will absolutely do them favors if they kiss his ass. It's one of the things he was impeached for already.

[kameecoding@lemmy.world]

They want to get on the money train, capitalists have no issue with embracing fascism

[shalafi@lemmy.world]

At one point, after his first Presidency, Trump threatened to throw Zuck in prison.

[shalafi@lemmy.world]

To be "allowed" to stay out of prison.

I too start my day with a prayer to and prostrations to to the greatest man to have ever lived, glorious leader kim jong un. Creeps me out this looks so damned familiar.

[eatspancakes84@lemmy.world]

It must be horrific to talk to Trump in person. He smells horrible, his moods swing constantly, he has incredibly stupid takes on issues you are an expert in, and he requires constant praise. If you take your hot wife with you he’ll be ogling her constantly. Nurses probably go out of their way to see another patient when he’s at the hospital.

Now you are one of the richest men in the world, and you have to pretend you like him. I mean, something must be seriously wrong with you if you got fuck-you money and still degrade yourself to those levels.

It's impressive and also a little bit depressing how accurate that quote is from almost 2,500 years ago. Shows humanity really doesn't change.

[psycho_driver@lemmy.world]

Ahh Zuckerberg, the Chechnyan Molly dealer.

[__nobodynowhere@lemm.ee]

How much can a hitman possibly cost??

[noxypaws@pawb.social]

that's needlessly offensive to donkeys, a single one of whom surely has more dickal mass than the entire administration and all republican senators and house reps combined

[sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works]

Neither. Trump is a narcissist, so they're trying to get on his good side to get favors down the road.

[wispy2891@lemmy.world]

AND decided to settle a lawsuit that Trump had no way to lawfully win for a $25 million "donation"

[underpantsweevil@lemmy.world]

Does all this sound like they’re actually loving Trump or are there credible threat to their health from the Trump admin?

Credibly threats to their revenue streams, more like. You don't climb the ladder to billionaire-hood without kissing a few assess and sucking a lot of dick.
