Better on the inside of the tent pissing out than outside pissing in.
Zuckerbuck is just cozying up to PDJT to hopefully avoid being arrested, charged, convicted and sentenced to a VERY long prison term for rigging the 2020 election.
The tech oligarchs want Indian indentured servants. Will they get them? I think probably not.
Zuckerberg spent $300 million stealing the last election. Did we forget that? He belongs hanging from a noose for sedition.
elon musk has hired and employs more people than steve bannon...
Duh.
Almost everyone is like that. That is politics since there was politics. This is transactional business and politics that Trump knows extremely well. The odd part was the situation pre-2024, where there was a system to place a thumb on the scales to prevent the resolution of ordinary transactional politics, through a regime of systematic government threats.
I’m not clear what Bannon wants - an altruistic commitment? Somehow?
I don’t see how we were better off with the previous status quo than we are with the new pretenses (if that’s what they are).
What we are seeing is the tech oligarchs. They are easy to notice because they are celebrities.
The REALLY important people run the investment funds (Blackrock, etc).
Btw, in re techbro’s nobody seems to be talking about non-celebrity Larry Ellison (Oracle). #4 on Forbes. He’s been Trump since before 2020.
Last time they fought Trump tooth and nail. This time they will try flattery. Zuckerberg is still the same globalist, censoring turd.
The notion that the tech oligarchs are “bending the knee” with an iota of commitment to policy is a joke. As Bannon asserts, it’s self-interest. And their loyalty is to wherever the greatest payoff is.
There is a range of loyalty. Some are converts, musk has shown a good heart for the cause.
I am all for testing Zuckerman. Let’s see what he is made of.
Larry Fink, Blackrock
Another “Baron” being friendly.

“Who are these back-channel advisers? I donāt know all of them, but one name I do know is Larry Fink, the very non-MAGA CEO of BlackRock. Fink is often associated with the Democratic Party given his support for progressive Environmental Social Governance investing, but heās close to Trump; he had managed The Donaldās vast fortune in the past and the two still talk.”
I watched the first 30 minutes of Rogan’s interview with Zuckerberg. I found it on Rumble. It’s more than two hours long.
They talked about censorship. He said the Biden administration leaned on him hard when it came to Covid reporting. He said at least in the US, you can get your day in court, not so around the world. When the Biden admin turned on Facebook, it was open season around the world and governments sued Facebook to the tune of $30Billion. He hopes Trump will stand up for a US company. Also, an attack came from an unexpected source. Elizabeth Warren heads the consumer financial bureau which suddenly took an interest in Facebook.
I don’t know if they will get to Zuckerbucks, drop-boxes and so on.
He came across as interested in business rather than as an ideologue. I think he accommodates government, anybody’s government. Is he loyal to MAGA? Not so much. Is he loyal to Donald Trump. Maybe for the next four years. Then somebody else.
Is he a Giuliani, Bannon, or Navarro? Definitely not.
He and Musk kind of remind me of Wernher von Braun. I think Braun wanted to get a man on the moon. Musk wants to colonize Mars. Zuckerberg wants to grow Meta. According to Wikipedia, Meta operates Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, among other products and services.
If Mark Z were to give $450M right now to the Republican party, we could possibly talk about forgiveness. Then maybe we’ll talk.
There is also the Joe Rogan podcast admissions: you(Mark) was pressured by the Biden administration to cover vaccine misinformation and you could have at anytime pushed back with little to no reprecussions, and yet didn’t. This shows his character.
He is right about Zukerberg.
These alt media rants against tech oligarchs must be some form of therapy for Bannon whose trial in NY State is scheduled to start in February.
He needs to focus more on beating those charges, state prison is no joke.
Well Bannon is correct but better these techie billionaires at least pretend to change.
