"As a business man, I had to get along with everybody"

Ballroom donors getting nervous.
It’s genuinely hard for me to understand how these companies thought this was going to go. Did they think the obese 80 year old was going to live forever, as dictator?

No it's supposed to be the new normal. Look I miss Bush and Obama as much as the next guy. But they absolutely built the foundations of Trump's castle. He'd be nothing without both sides of the aisle paving his way. Trump's not an anomaly.

Elaborate please? How did Bush and Obama build the foundations for Trump's castle?

I mean I don’t think you’ve ever had the US president going, publicly, “hey, bribe me pls”. That’s new, and I don’t think it’ll last. People don’t like it.

The basic embarrassment of this thing is why business leaders with sense just shut the hell up about the subject. But you have to like, be sober to shut up about such things, so that's Karp excluded right there...

This is what I always said re: Musk/VC bros..
You probably wouldn't like how many/most CEOs vote.. its just that they mostly don't talk about it / keep a lower profile so they aren't really public figures.
It was interesting watching so many go all-in (pun half intended) as if there would never another party in power again. Very short sighted from supposed future seeing visionaries.

What a crackpot. Watch a video with him or Peter, they're clearly on drugs.

> I know more about being a progressive than almost anybody on the planet
At least he has a good sense of humor.

He has expertise on targetting progressives for sure ;)
Is that a white flag? I can't tell because it turns too quickly with the wind.

Alex Karp has always thought of himself as progressive. He's liberal on all the social issues and moderate on economic, practically like establishment Dems that voted for the Patriot Act.

He is liberal on a few social issues but he is ideologically opposed to liberalism. He cannot be progressive unless you're on of those people who think progressive is progressing towards an authoritarian "utopia"

Well, the Democrats when in power will continue the status quo with Palantir, which should tell you everything you need to know

Honestly the US government has been so thoroughly captured by corporate/oligarch interests for enough decades by now that nothing should surprise you.
I'd almost say political leanings barely matter anymore but worldwide most Trump-level disasters seem to be right wing.

In this case it is more that the US government (whether it is D or R in charge) find Palantir an effective and useful tool to help keep the state safe. That goes for other governments around the world too.

He saw Elon Musk purging his X account of any positive mention of the Trump regime and thought he'd join him. I must give it to Elon, he was the quickest to react. Makes sense as he's the most desparate to be liked of all of them.
What's next? Larry Elisson says he's monopolized mainstream media and TikTok to promote progressive viewpoints? Zuckerberg says that he's got the whole world addicted to his algorithms and built a shadow profile on everyone so that he can spread progressive ideals in the most personalized, optimal manner?
You know what, in this timeline, they might even say that.

I agree with the sentiment, but I always got the idea that Zuck was just siding with whoever was in power. It doesn't really feel like, imo, that Meta was designed to spread conservative propaganda...just propaganda in general. Especially not in the league of Larry Elisson...but maybe I'm ignorant of something

I think you're right but does it make things better? The duplicitous paper clip maximizer vs the duplicitous ideologue. You can argue for either.

Honestly the flip flopping is the most embarrassing part, or should be to them. So many of them came out so confident after Trump's second win, embracing the vibe shift. Ah but now, no no no, not like that, they of course were always in favor of progressive policies. The behavior should be disqualifying for ever being taken seriously again.
I know the press will forget, but I think it's incumbent on the rest of us to not forget, and to point and laugh at them every chance we get.
