The oligarchs cosying up to the easiest rube, knowing they can just say something nice to trump. hes such a petty little man he would give them whatever they asked for.
musk: “mr trump, you have such big hands! please subsidise all my companies because I am running them into the ground!”
I have zero doubt that they not only don’t support Trump, but actually loathe and detest him just as much as any other person with a working brain and/or conscience and/or eyes and/or sense of smell does.
What they support is plutocracy, and they see Trump as the path to it.
He’s not so much a candidate as a disease vector.
Trump is a pay to play guy. If you pay him, he will do you a favor. Some Silicon valley companies really want immigration legislation so they can hire foreign nationals more easily for American-based jobs. or they want to keep certain taxes low.
