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.

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.

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

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

Pretty sure Trump said he wanted Zuck executed

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.

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.

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.

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

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

“more people” is absolutely irrelevant because most of those people are zombies that don’t do anything but consume.

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