Wait forever fools

Who are you kidding. They are buying up stocks at dirt cheap prices. The rest of us are being financially annihilated.

dilleyandrew.bsky.social•57 days ago

5% drop doesn't dent their dicks.

ctrltxquilting.bsky.social•57 days ago

If they are still holding out, then they are fools.

Needs to payoff from -20%

In typical MAGA fashion, crawling back to Biden levels will be celebrated as a great victory.

Watching the global economy tank: distressing.

Watching the tech titans lose their shirts in an epic FAFO: priceless.

So many in one spot, where's that freak lightning strike when we need it?

jayteeexcel.bsky.social•57 days ago

There won't be a payoff. Especially if he tries to do away with the Chips Act.

That waiting line is getting longer. Just ask Sen. Tim Scott.

Our economy is controlled by the dumbest fucking people.

callaghanmt.bsky.social•57 days ago

And 70 million Americans voted for it.

rebelron.bsky.social•57 days ago

That just means they're are 70 million ppl who are dumber than the 💩 stain 🤔

Apple would be because they source parts from around the world. I don't think it would affect companies like Google or Facebook you don't source any materials. Just bits and bytes

So far, the tech leaders who backed Trump have kept their complaints private, not wanting to make themselves targets for his ire. They’re still hoping he might call off the antitrust dogs and use the tariffs to beat back regulations abroad. But the early returns are not great. https://wapo.st/4ckrKsM

kinda of wonder what do they fear of trump, his fanatics?

j-dave.bsky.social•57 days ago

Everyone is waiting for Trump voters to flip -- when all they will ever do is find the line between what they actually wanted and what they will rationalize away

caodragao.bsky.social•57 days ago

then what is left is to wait or plan their demise

caodragao.bsky.social•57 days ago

because its self defence at this point

10 billion here, 10 billion there, and sooner or later you’re talking real losses. https://wapo.st/4ckrKsM w/ @naominix.bsky.social & @gerritd.bsky.social

Every one listed above (Zuckerberg, Bezos, Chew, fElon, Altman, Pichai, etc) has sold out the US and were offered basically immunity if they paid up protection money now. They all folded over like the slimy worms they are. #Idiocracy

Big tech have misread the average european. We actually understand why regulation is sometimes needed and support enforcement. Govt that do not protect our rights or sell us out will get told to get fucked.

No one fucking cares about Meta or Google or the american big tech. Comply or get fucked.

TRUMP’s MAGA CONGRESS ARE IN CAHOOTS WITH THE “TECH TITANS”

Tell your readers the truth— of course they’re “staying quiet” because they hope and pray the press won’t reveal the truth before Congress can be stopped.

I don’t think you can look at totals and really see what is going on. It is about control of money more than amounts of money. Being a bigger fish is what thay care about, even if it is in a slightly smaller pond.

pietrogentile.bsky.social•57 days ago

US Big Tech in Europe will be hit in a way far different from the Trump Tariffs. And it will be tought. First, with regulations, and second they will be forced to pay taxes that still now they avoid to pay.

And everyone is hoping all these shit stains get fucked hard

cathy3of6.bsky.social•57 days ago

They will just go and buy a waiver

vadskr.bsky.social•56 days ago

These titans are dumb.

aetherclaw.bsky.social•57 days ago

lets hope the all go bankrupt, especially everyone who uses "AI" or has any modern AI on their platform.

After meeting the most basic of needs: food, clothing, shelter, medicine, more money is about comfort and security.

What is the point of having lots of money if you are compelled to bow and scrape to an authority?

“are among the biggest losers”

Full stop.

abrodsky.bsky.social•57 days ago

Maybe they can get their money back

davidakaye.bsky.social•57 days ago

they are deeply, deeply shallow, unpatriotic, unstrategic people. they neglected to see that an outright assault esp on european sovereignty & democracy (in all sorts of ways) would lead to a counterforce, a doubling down on regulation & pan-european nationalism. unforgiveable.

bruiserchgo.bsky.social•57 days ago

They kissed the ring of the Mad King, hoping to attract his favor rather than his ire, not realizing how truly Mad he was, and that all around him would suffer.
