It would seem the oligarchs support fascism.

Is anyone surprised?

[–] JaymesRS@literature.cafe 46 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Always have. Just used to be more subtle about it.

I do appreciate honesty.

The rich and powerful will almost always support those who make them more rich and powerful, no matter what other shit comes out of their mouths.

"More Tech and Venture Capital Execs Are Coming Out as ~~MAGA~~ Believers of Tax Cuts, Deregulation and Corruption"

Fixed that headline...

TIL Musk didn't already publicly declare it. The guy has been acting the part for a long time already.

It's just like any other investment, they expect to get more money out of whatever they invest into his campaign.

Anyone Elon Musk dislikes is a friend of mine.

Anyone Elon Musk likes is my enemy.

It's unsurprising but still disappointing... they have more than enough and these fuckers still want more.

The level of entitlement is insane.

Anyone else remember when Trump walked into a room of hyper-wealthy donors and said something like, “I just saved all of you a LOT of money!” after his Tex cuts were signed into law? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Further proof that a brain is unnecessary for the executive level of an organization

[–] isles@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm trying to connect the dots... are you implying that MAGA is harmful to entrenched business interests?

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 months ago

I think they're implying that if MAGAts are idiots and execs can be MAGAts, some execs are therefore idiots.

[–] girlfreddy@lemmy.ca 20 points 4 months ago

Ofc they are. They follow the money like every greedy mf'er does.

After reading Kara Swisher's book about these people, this isn't a surprise.
