Quick then Zuck, ban radical ideas like Open Source even harder if you want to stay on Don's good side.

That's why it's so pathetic: he doesn't have to. If Bernie Sanders were elected, a wealth tax implemented, etc, Meta would still exist and his quality of life wouldn't change at all. He chooses to suck up to Trump, which is about as "small dick energy" as you can get...

I suppose it's possible that if Trump felt that they weren't supporting him in the way he would like, he could introduce laws to make life difficult for them.

Although I suspect behind closed doors the investors don't really feel the need to start meetings off praising Trump (however much he may personally want to be he isn't Stalin), so in this case it might be actual fanaticism.

It'd be interesting to know if Zuckerberg has the same amount of blood on his hands I suspect probably far more

I think this has to do more with the popular vote going to Trump than anything Trump did specifically. They all collectively shat on him or didn't interact with him from 2016 and all through Bidens presidency.

They saw that public opinions has shifted so badly that Trump swept everything and won the popular vote. Suddenly they are all his best friend.

They never cared. They just want to be in the "side" more people like. you're forgetting that money/power is what drives these people. They saw more money in power in bashing Trump or siding with the Democrats until the 2024 election happened. Now they feel they can get more money and power by siding with Trump.

It's so Trump doesn't target them. He could effectively destroy their business.

Pretty sure Trump said he wanted Zuck executed

The King: RADICAL ANTI-MONARCHY TERRORISTS are using LENTILS to BAIT YOUR CHILDREN INTO SEX CULTS. This cannot be allowed to continue!!! We MUST remove ALL LENTILS from ANY CIVILIZATION IN THE WORLD IMMEDIATELY.

Also when Alexander visited him he told Diogenes to ask him for whatever he wanted. He said 'Could you step aside and get out of my sun?'

They never cared

Well yeah, they're publicly traded companies. Once the owner gives up their controlling stake and/or steps away from leadership positions, so does any kind of moral basis for the company's decisions.

I've worked at private and public companies, and the owners of the private companies often made choices based on their personal moral code (i.e. we will/won't work with org X because of Y), whereas at public companies it's all about whatever makes sense strategically in the short to medium term, and sometimes long term.

If a publicly traded company seems to be your friend right now, that's because it's currently profitable for them to do so.

Yup, and all so he can get even richer.

"The first term, everybody was fighting me. In this term, everybody wants to be my friend."

I like Louis Rossmann's borrowed quote here:

If you're going to be the bitch, you be the whole bitch. Ain't no room for a half-bitch around here.

I would be surprised if he didn’t out of retaliation.

At least in this story Aristippus is gaining something tangible, and presumably he was eating bread and lentils before he sucked up to the king. In Zuck's story, before licking the orange butthole he already had everything. He had to taste spray tan and dingleberries to make his imaginary numbers say something slightly different on paper without changing anything about their impact on his life.

Back of that dudes throat is so bruised

I don't think the Cheeto can hit the back of anyone's throat

"more people" is absolutely irrelevant because most of those people are zombies that don't do anything but consume.

Just his gums

True, but those people are great when all you care about is line going up. People who ask think critically and ask questions don't make line go up as fast.
