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...

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.
