Everyone Wants to Befriend Donald
I don’t know who asked the question or what exactly the question was, but you’ll figure it out. Here’s a hint in the form of a reply from newly elected Donald Trump: “I Don’t Know. My personality changed or something.”
The “unmistakable pivot” in Silicon Valley has been astonishing. The pivot was spearheaded by Elon Musk and other billionaire tech moguls, even those moguls who dislike Musk. According to Freddy Gray in Spectator, it seems like what excites them is the Department of Government Efficiency (DoGE) agenda, lead by Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.
Is that why Apple’s chief executive, Tim Cook, and Google’s Sundar Pichai and Sergey Brin have also been to dinner at Mar-a-Lago recently? To Trump, it’s all very elegant. To others (normal people?), it’s a bit slimy.
Mr. Gray wonders, does oligarchy die in the light?
Maybe that’s Trump’s real role in global politics, a purpose he perhaps half-understands: to reveal all the shallowness, greed and stinking hypocrisy of the twenty-first-century elite for all the world to see. He’s an Open Source Corrupter, as it were. Yet a question still troubles some MAGA loyalists: the tech overlords spent years fighting Trump, yet he succeeded.
Unthinkable after a Joe Biden Administration
Now they are behind him, might he fail?
