Welcome to the era of gangster tech regulation

President Donald Trump is staying today, and we are about to know what is happening when the government is actually corrupt, just as the theorists imagine the most brain conspiracy.

“Trump’s inauguration, screaming in criticism, running out of privileges for adult donors” New York Times I mentioned, somewhat inaccurate. Certainly, Trump’s people have run out of VIP tickets, but this is not what the donors were buying. This is pure and clear corruption – the type that was used to start shame, and return when we were a people who could still try these feelings.

All our technology tools all have problems, and they want to buy solutions. I think it was easier than making products that people really like.

“The first friend“Elon Musk spent At least a quarter of a billion dollars The election of Donald Trump. Wealthy companies and donors I sent half a billion others Since his election. Amazon, Google, Uber, Microsoft and Meta I donated $ 1 million each To the installation of Trump, as did the Apple Tim Cook Medal of Openai. (Installing Joe Biden I barely received This type of demolition.) “In the first period, everyone was fighting me”, ” Trump said in December. “In this term, everyone wants to be my friend.”

Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, the richest of the three men on Earth, they are It is said that attending the opening; They were supposed to sit with elected officials and cabinet candidates, Before moving the ceremony inward. (Cook also And according to what was attended.Musk You will have a office space in the Eisenhower Executive Office building Next to the White House, according to New York Times.

So what do these men buy?

Real market opportunities are rare than they were. Executive managers and technology investors have become public from their products publicly ” Community repercussions and An unreasonable shortage in the synchronization of citizens. Zuckerberg in particular looks bored with Facebook, his main money maker, and he was looking for a new game. Spent At least $ 46 billion plus The cost of the brand re -company On metaverse, just to find that the big new thing had no legs. The last big thing for him is the AR glasses, which depends heavily on any Amnesty International policy (and it is possible, the tariff) that Trump will dictate.

Almost each major technology company has at least one suspended lawsuit. apple He has a suspended anti -monopoly suit. Google Just lost one. There is also a lawsuit of the Federal Trade Committee that can Peel Instagram and WhatsApp Off Meta. Trump is only concerned with the actual purpose of applying anti -monopoly: making companies compete for customers with good products. All suspended litigation is just taking advantage of Trump to punish anyone who does not fall into the queue. The Silicon Valley is more interested in consumers than ever. “Get Out of Jail Free” is a very popular card in the Monopoly game, after all.

Perhaps no one has spent more to purchase a break from the general audit more than the encryption industry. “The encryption youth only explode” Trump’s unknown advisor said Intuition. “It was $ 1 million in a large number. Now we look at some people who give $ 10 [million] Or 20 million dollars. “They want the Securities Committee and the Friendly Stock Exchange. Capital capitalism and Paypal Mafioso David Sacks have already been called“ Crypto CZAR ”. There is an executive matter pending to name encryption” a national need or priority – strategic formulation aims to direct government agencies to work with industry, ”. According to Bloomberg. We may be about to witness The first pump and fragmentation of the Mimi presidential currency.

Crypto is useful for a little along with crime and gambling, and means organizing the least chances of people who are deceived by the following FTX. (Talking about gambling, Robintol donated $ 2 million For Trump’s opening fund). The encryption capture can extend to the enforcement of the diverse criminal industries that depend on it.

Then there are taxes, of course. Billionaires do not want to pay them, and Trump is I can meet that. Scott Pesin, He was nominated for the Minister of the TreasuryHe said, “The most important economic issue of the day” is to ensure the tax cuts of the remaining wealthy in place. Bessent is He is accused of being a tax dodge himself.

But this is all the little potatoes. Real money in the army. Investment capital, Mark Anderson – is also a member of Meta and the main investor at X – recruits the Trump administration employees and even influencing the employment of the Ministry of Defense and the Intelligence Agency, Washington Post Reports. As usual, it is Looking at the game is far by braging about it on podcast.

Silicon Valley investors in general were I am up to the defense technology Such as the Personality Poster of Andrill and Palantire. (A16z is a major supporter of Andrill, and both companies and two owners are established by some of the oldest Maga Valley. Until he had a non -follower musk, Lockheed DM’D account To say that it was “unintended”.

Musk’s Spacex has a file Number of contracts with American army and Intelligence agenciesIncluding The so -called STARSHIELD satellites. He used his influence to interfere in the war between Russia and Ukraine, and his two According to what was reported, he seized phone calls From Vladimir Putin. The army also inspired the artificial intelligence’s interest in a new race for everything from building data centers to providing cloud computing. Musk’s Xai, something from Ran next to Openai, Meta and Google, can start DOD contracts.

Andressen has already expressed his dissatisfaction With Joe Biden The executive thing about artificial intelligenceWhich is likely to be canceled.

AI Goldrush also will also be concerned Microsoft, Google, Meta and Amazon – as well as a group of startups. Early in 2017Openai Greg Brockman’s founder wrote to Elon Musk that the company should aim at a “government project (when: ??).” (I heard rumors that Openai request government financing at that time; microsoft as wellThe Dal E monument is received To the army in 2023.) Microsoft has the most lost in these negotiations – Senator Ron, Eden and Eric Schmidt expressed their concerns The Ministry of Defense depends on this as a seller. CEO Satia Nadella He has already performed the pilgrimage to Mar-A-Lago To Growel before Trump and Musk.

Collective privatization can make things more profitable for the technology industry. Data/research It is a clear reward, however Musk criticism of the F-35 program It indicates a much wider targeting. Great military investment in drones, for example, is likely to benefit Andrill. Musk is already made Rockets, which means it is a short jump for Spacex to make missiles. Should the Trump administration be implemented? Collective deportation threatsThere is no doubt that there is a demand for more databases, collective tracking, and detention centers.

But this is not a friendly clown car, all of these men are packed. Their interests are simply not compatible. Zuckerberg is the largest beneficiary of Tiktok’s ban and his and his Practically begging Trump to punish apples for him. It may be Trump reconsider On Tiktok, perhaps because of Main governor donor He has a 15 percent stake. Apple depends on Chinese manufacturing and needs exemptions from The promised definitions of Trump Administration. Andron’s request To disintegrate GoogleWhich now appeals its monopolistic rule. Everyone wants to steal contracts from Microsoft. Jeff Bezos and hold competitors for space communications.

If we knew anything from Trump’s first state, he loves people wandering for his goodness. Certainly, this means chaos, but this also means funny bed covers. For example, everyone hates the regulatory system of the European Union. It is easy to imagine Zuckerberg, Musk and Cook Comming Comment to make Trump rotate the European Union’s digital services law – then turn each other immediately. Being in Trump’s good grace is a zero game, and the award is that the clown car will eventually go over a shelf.

Keeping Trump may be expensive, but cheaper than legal battles. The application of selective law puts each company under a sword of Damocles – take the wrong movement and You can cut into bodies By lackeys in Congress or FCC. Just see Fake Tiktok Calls to the dear leader. The Supreme Court has supported the Tiktok ban, but if Trump only punished the people who do not like it, Nothing happens to Tikhak. (Decally, the law is still on books to be kept Other Chinese competitors In the line.) Have you mentioned? Shu Chey, CEO of Tiktok, got an invitation at the front to the installation of Trump Who is the man himself?

I assume I should explain why this United States makes a great place to live in, given the “smart” sarcasm that I saw on how everything is already here. Technology companies, which stimulate their lower lines, have made their experiences worse, a widespread and well -recognized phenomenon that there is now there. Colloquial for that. Whether the scandals are fraud, predation of children, exploitation of workers or user privacy violations – choose thickness – Trump has provided technology a way to buy himself out of consequences. This makes life tangiblely worse for everyone who is not a billionaire.

There are those who will say this is good – that corruption occurs in the open rather than shade. But public and open corruption allows more credit for secrecy. Consider all powerful governments. Besides their progress in bribery, what they invented? The Silicon Valley leaders themselves as an mighty of industry, but what they really build is a golden age of Grift.
