Summary
Tech leaders who once backed Trump are fed up as his second term descends into chaos.
Venture capitalists and startup founders complain about erratic policies and feel burned by crypto bro schemes like $Trump coin, which tanked after launch.
Appointing David Sacks as “crypto czar” only fueled suspicions of cronyism, while proposed defense budget cuts leave companies like Anduril and Palantir reeling.
Even billionaire allies like Jeff Bezos are souring as tariffs and economic uncertainty hit their bottom line. “Everyone is annoyed,” says one disillusioned founder.
Awww. Poor rich babies are annoyed. My heart pumps purple piss for them.
FAFO assholes.
My heart pumps purple piss for them.
I admire your commitment to the cause, but you really should get that checked out…
It’s an old saying from back in the day (70s to 80s).
Check out The Wire for reference.
Awesome show. Can’t remember that line though.
Bunk said it to a crime lab tech.
And just found out it was also in Stephen King’s The Dark Tower, book 4, which I read wayyyy back when.
It’s the world’s smallest violin, playing ‘My Heart Pumps Purple Piss for You’.
Great; time for another rewatch.
Maybe this time FS won’t die.
Cool, so now the tech bros will stand up to them in the house and file articles of…. Oh wait, they don’t actually have any power in the government and will be able to do nothing to get the orange fascist and his South African goblin out of the place where they are doing IRREPARABLE harm.
If they’ll counter Musk’s primarying political opposition and stooges, you may see congressmen grow a spine.
If we even GET a free and fair election in 26.
Not really, either way the Broligarchs own the government. We might make them buy slightly less shitty politicians, but that doesn’t count for much.
My slim hope is that they start funding the opposition and current legislators to oust them. Things change radically when money is on the line.Sucks i have to pray to oligarchs but I don’t have any other short term optionEdit: Fuck this mentality I need to find a better path.
They’re mad because he’s ruining their income, we’re mad because he’s ruining the country; we are not the same.
Fuck them.
There is no greater joy than when two of your enemies go to war against each other.
Ok techbros and billionaires, either Luigi him or stfu. You pieces of shit tanked America.
I had to laugh when I saw some dumbass posting some FB-level political magabrained copium about how gas prices are going down thanks to dumbass donvict.
And the amount of comments underneath it, thanking donvict for doing great things for America. The amount of absolute DELUSION out there, as well as the people that proudly slap that delusion up there on…checks notes…a site for building your network for your career for employers, co-workers, and potential clients/customers to see is mind-boggling.
I bet these same set of dumbasses will be all Pikachu-faced and talking about how they are being “censored” by Big Tech if they were to find out that people take a pass on hiring/doing business with a chucklefuck jagoff posting moronic political nonsense on a site for your career…they never seem to realize that free speech cuts both ways. They are free to express what idiots they are and others are free to disassociate with them because of it.
I’ve seen shit like that too. I’m convinced they are all bots since meta just gave up on stopping them.
“You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they’ve tried everything else.” -Winston Churchill
“Oh no. I did his bidding. He was supposed to hurt other people, but not me. Now I hate that guy. Feel sorry for me.”
Things need to change, only because they’re negatively impacting me. If other people are affected, that’s on them.
If other people are affected, no they’re not. They just need to be tough like me.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to call in a favor for something that is affecting me.
suspicions of cronyism
Are you fucking serious?
“Annoyed”
Oh fuck off.
Well, that was a quick honeymoon, did they get thoroughly fucked at least?
They thought they paid their dues and Trump would leave them alone after some token bullshit and some “campaign donations” but Trump’s senile ass is causing them issues and they’re sour about it.
The entire article reads like:
Bush:
There’s an old saying in Tennessee—I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, ‘Fool me once, shame on…shame on you.’ Fool me—you can’t get fooled again.
Oh woe is me! Let’s clutch our pearls and feel so sorry for the incel tech lords and crypto bros that brought this maniac authoritarian regime into power because now they’re annoyed by his policies. Won’t someone please pray for their capital trusts, mansions, nepobabies, and yachts! How will they survive with billions in property and means to escape when the little people tire of their shit and burn it all down?
Sarcasm aside I yearn for the day all these FAFO morons get utterly put in their places. Y’all got to ride high on extorting the working class and immigrant labor while you rubbed it in our faces. Fuck all of you, your lies, your fake unearned success, and your fake patriotism. Fuck all Nazis but six. Save them for pallbearers and when they’re done burying the dead feed them to the dogs.
“Even our most soulless plutocrats are wondering if the EU replacing all its US based services might be a result of current leadership.”
Who knew tech bros were still stuck on OS X 10.5…I figured they would use more modern operating systems
Several Silicon Valley executives I spoke to — some of whom requested anonymity for fear of retribution — echoed this sense of disappointment
Things are fucked up when private citizens criticize the government anonymously due to “fear of retribution”.
But he’s a tech bro, he’s in the “in crowd.” This so called retribution might just mean he can’t hang out at their club house anymore.
Not so fun when you’re the ones being pumped and dumped
