    The antitrust war was in full effect when he said that. Gates is a good guy now, but he was a ruthless pos as head of MS.

        No one rich enough to be in Trump’s vicinity actually believes any of the glazing they do to him. They’re all executing the very basic strat for dealing with a baby man: stroke his ego -> get what you want.

        As far as interacting with other sociopaths goes, my guess is trump is refreshingly simple for them.

        I mean, what is he supposed to do. The orange man threatened to put Zuckerberg in jail for the rest of his life if he doesn’t comply. I have not very much hope left for the upcoming testimonies regarding Steam, Twitch, Discord and Reddit.

          If you have any power at all, complying with the blatant fascist is treason. You know what happens next. Think of all the people who have virtually no power, who can be beaten, imprisoned, deported, without consequence. Chuds like Zuckerberg and Gates pave the way for that. They have enough money and power to insulate themselves.

          Even fucking Musk parted company with the ghoul emperor. Imagine having less spine than someone who bought a social media platform so people would stop making fun of him (didn’t work, obv).
