This move makes zero sense to me. Why, change it? It's not it's official name or international recognized name so wtf

And it will undoubtedly pay off for them. This is the first brazenly tech oligarchy-driven administration.

Remember who was at Trump’s inauguration? Musk, obviously, but also:

  • Tim Cook, CEO of Apple
  • Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon
  • Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta
  • Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet

.
Trump, a populist president, is flanked by tech billionaires at his inauguration

Tim Apple isn’t your friend, either. No oligarch is.

I was hoping Apple wouldn’t be there considering Tim is openly gay

Openly gay, but secretly a billionaire.

He donated to Trump right from his pockets. He’s a traitor.
