Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg, and other tech leaders refrained from making public statements while their companies collectively lost trillions. Their silence was both deafening and strategic.

Oh, they are only trying to get deals from themselves behind the scenes with Trump while the whole country suffers, but if they are successful, they can save their asses. What a spineless, short-sighted, greedy group!
More than making money, these fascists like to see people being enslaved, democracy becoming dictatorship, minorities being squandered. They are not even capitalists. They are healthy slave-owning tyrants. They accept losing money if it means injustice, oppression and the death of innocent people.
Well this is certainly trump & Millers agenda but zuck & bezos are not likely on that same thread. It doesn't serve their business models to reduce customers.
What would make the writers of a technical magazine think they are qualified to talk about economics?
Certainly broadcasting very clearly they do not understand the stock market, how it works, profit, schemes that drives it
Why do they waste our time? To take advantage of the naïve and ignorant.
Remember Trump's first go around? When mostly well meaning conservative patriots tried to step up and help him govern, then gave up over his stupidity? We are about to see actual self serving sycophants do the same. He is too stupid for his co-conspirators.
Tech CEOs aren’t actually staying silent. They’re simply lobbying behind the scenes on their own behalf. Niki Christoff, a Washington, DC, political strategist, says most of the strategizing around trade rules—and conversations with Trump’s staff—are happening through back channels right now.
Here is the what cynic in me thinks: Yes, your new phone or computer or Chinese shit from Amazon is going to cost more. You will accept it because of tariffs. But incr. price will not be based on the cost to import due to back channel convos, they are just going to profit off the difference.
“… don’t all these mega-tech companies gather all our information and then sell it to advertisers… SELL IT TO ADVERTISERS… then perhaps we TAX that advertising revenue and send rebate checks to those of us who use their ‘free’ service…”
The fascist-leaning trumpty-dumBty/musk-melon regime has been, is now, and forever will be a very shoddy product available to the highest bidder. Said bidder, who, upon realizing they were effectively swindled, has no choice but to put their best wrapping over the pile of garbage they were sold.
They kissed the ring, and finding out their riches Trump offered comes at a high price to their reputations and businesses. These people were always around through the ages, Trump harnessed them for his rise creating an autocracy. They must pay a price for damage they're doing to us and democracy.

if you even sniff the word "union" people come out of the fucking walls and take you aside

Directly confronting Trump will gain nothing and put you on his shit list.
What will be interesting is the 2026 elections - will they finance Dems with "dark money" to create a Congressional roadblock?
Because, it's giving 'The Beekeeper'.
“… hello, Congress…”
Under Trump:
The cost of your holiday in Europe has gone up 10 %.
The cost of importing French wines/champagne has gone up 10 %.
The cost of importing Belgian chocolates has gone up 10 %.
Not including 10 % tariffs!!!
