This is so nakedly transparent. The tech industry is god damn giddy for Trump. They stand to make so much more money and exploit us at levels hitherto unheard of.

Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Because they don’t have enough money and power yet.
It's never enough for billionaires and giant corporations.
Not just tech. For big business Trump is good news for them I am sure. For their employees, not so much. But for the leaders, it's 4 years of very favourable policies for them.
I don't know that Trump is as good news for them as they think. If he implements his tariff plans, they get hit hard and no amount of passing that on to consumers will help because consumers won't be able to afford it.
I'm not so optimistic.. Car prices nearly doubled in a handful of years. More than, if you factor in "market price adjustments." Wages stagnated. Cars still flying off lots faster than they can be built. That's just one example among many.
People need cars in the U.S. unfortunately.
Fuck. I seriously thought $atya Nadella was above this.
Edit: changed an S for an $ cause it seemed appropriate.
Haha, you're funny. He'd sell his grandma 1% productivity increase
If Nadella was visiting Musk, why was Trump there? /s
Ugh. I thought it said “died”
Nadella's ugly face always reminds me of a urinal.
Everyone come bend the knee
already cancelled my M$ account. Won't matter to them much, but I'm no longer funding it. Cancel everything you can, buy nothing. Vote with your wallet.
Numbers must go up
