"trump is accidentally friendlier to google because he likes to reverse things from biden" doesn't mean trump is friendlier to tech overall.

for example most of what Trump claims he invested in chip production was actually invested by Biden. Trump gives more promises and less actual money.

And with the antitrust case lifted we now see Skydance/Paramount merger. And Netflix/WB merger. And TikTok.

That's a lot of friendly to tech things Trump is doing.

The previous admin likely would have kept the companies separate / brought up antitrust issues.


except for TikTok none of them are really "tech"

I want to say Trump seems a bit friendlier to corporate. But the pro corporate guy would not take from corporate their best cheapest workforce. Maybe his friendly tax policy compensates for his strict immigration policy idk


Larry Ellison literally is stepping into Paramount and providing guarantees for $40,000,000,000+ to try and push Paramount + WB Merger. Literally Larry Ellison.

Are you unaware of any of the tech CEOs who are involved in any of the stuff I was discussing?


And we know it would not happen if it is democrat gov because we have access to alternative histories?

Because under a Democrat Government, TikTok was getting banned.

Under Trump, he kept it long enough for TikTok to be bought by Republican-allies.

This is just stuff from last year. Have you paid attention to any of the companies I've brought up at all? Are you unaware of all the massive $Million++ dinners that every tech-bron attended for Trump? Do you know the connections of JD Vance to Ellison and other tech bros?

Have you watched cryptocoins suddenly surge into mainstream with the Trump presidency as Trump literally pardoned those criminals?

What part of this administration is not pardoning cyber criminals or tech bros or otherwise sending money to them?


I can give you that trump is 100% more friendly to crypto. that's for sure
