Google founder Sergey Brin is the latest tech titan to make Mar-a-Lago pilgrimage for Trump meeting
UK Daily Mail ^ | 12/13/2024 | Rob Crilly

One of Google's billionaire founders is the latest tech giant to cozy up to Donald Trump, dining with the president-elect at his Mar-a-Lago home on Thursday night, according to multiple sources.

It is a remarkable turnaround for Sergey Brin, who described Trump's 2016 win as 'deeply offensive.'

But it shows how the online aristocracy is having to set aside their worries to grapple with a new reality.

Details of his visit emerged hours after Facebook's parent company Meta and Amazon revealed they were giving $1million to Trump's inauguration fund.

All of them are playing catch-up as Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, watches his fortune grow as he sits in on meetings at Trump's political headquarters.

Google was one of the companies that Trump this year accused of being part of an election plot against him.

A source familiar with Brin's visit told DailyMail.com that it was set up by Jessica Reed Kraus, an Instagram influencer known as HouseInhabit, who is close to the Brin family.

'It was Sergey who reached out and wanted to have dinner with Trump,' said the source.

'Of course Trump said yes. These are the biggest companies on the planet and he takes them very seriously.

'But you can bet he always was frank in telling them what he thinks of them.'

Trump returned to his Palm Beach home on Thursday afternoon after visiting New York, where he was named Time Man of the Year.

It was a rare public appearance. Trump has kept the media at bay since winning the election, forgoing publicity in favor building his administration, with dozens of meetings and personnel interviews every day.

On Thursday evening, it was back to business with Brin, who is worth an estimated $146 billion.

Brin to Mar a Lago
Meta and Amazon each giving $1million to Trump’s inauguration fund.

These man-children suddenly realize they better stop throwing tantrums and get on the Trump Train...or be left at the station.

Could be worse, Hillary would have taken them to the train station.

One of the huge mistakes GWB made was ignoring Silicon Valley in 2002.
Many companies were in deep trouble after the .com crash.
With Google I say “Trust but Verify”

The trek by leftist scum to visit LITERALLY HITLER is, if I may say, hilarious. They have no values except to turn where the wind is blowing and that wind is LITERALLY HITLER, the most existential threat to democracy everywhere.

They have all shown quite clearly that they never believed that tripe AT ALL.

Trump 47 should tell Sergey no dice until google publishes its anti-conservative ranking algorith AND quits down-ranking conservative data and information ... period ...

furthermore, Trump 47 needs to tell Sergey that he, Trump 47, will be calling for Congress and the DoJ to investigate Alphabet, Inc. anti-trust, anti-competitive violations with the aim to break up alpha into a plethora of independent corporations ...

They are not stupid people, they know it is to their financial benefit to kiss the ring.

G**gle is the largest and most pervasive censor and manipulator of information that has ever existed ...






... at least on this planet.



G**gle exists entirely to modify what you think by controlling what you see and read. If you use any G**gle product (without first making some technically astute modifications), you're as much as begging for Progressive Indoctrination and/or a proctological exam every time you fire up a PC or handheld digital device.

It is beyond redemption. Best course for the cause of Liberty is to dismember it and burn the indicidual pieces.
