Don Knight on Substack. 

American CEOs think they're buying protection by giving Trump money.

But here's what they don't understand: this exact same playbook already happened in Russia.

Weak oligarchs who gave Putin money to stay on his good side eventually ended up dead-and Kremlin loyalists took over their companies.

Zuckerberg. Bezos. Tim Cook.

You didn't buy safety, you displayed weakness.

And that was a tragic mistake.

From what I'm seeing online and IRL they think he's doing what he promised and cutting government. They THINK that's going to end up with money coming to them. I look forward to their pain.

Elon fucking Musk does NOT appropriate federal funds.
That is the job of CONGRESS.
Not some foreign born private citizen jumping bean exploding penis rocket car melting nepo-baby conspiracy theorist womanizer who exchanges horses for handjobs.

Congress needs to stand the fuck up. All of them!!!

Yesterday, the first post under a story about the plane crash was "thank God we have a transportation secretary now who shows up and does the job". The day went downhill from there. I'm there for some groups I love but can't do it much longer.

Impossible to buy only from Black owned businesses or to your point-to avoid the supply chain but isn't the support still a good thing?

Ask them if they think having every single social media post by a gov agency reviewed by a Trump appointee is shrinking gov. They'll have an answer though. I guess we wait till they are personally affected by some missing agency or program cut.
