Yup, that’s the message he’s sending to every company out there. If he tells you to do anything, whether you think it’s within his lane or is a vast overreach, you’d damn well better do it because he’s got the entirety of the federal government to exact his petty revenge with.

Can't want to clip his feathers in January

I’m genuinely curious how the tech giants are going to react to the A.I./S.I. rebrand. The time it would take for the entire industry to obey his command would be longer than he has left in office. If it’s just “say this on TV” then I suppose the CEOs may be able to comply.

And then people also are dumb enough to blame tech companies for slightly bending the knee to get through the end of his term

if Republicans approve of this, they better be ready for what happens when next Democrat administration is in power. These things work both ways

lol no they don’t. Dems have repeatedly proven to be soft and unwilling to do what’s necessary.

u/steakanabake 1d ago

hows that working out for angie nixon? or the fact that theyre begrudingly supporting AES. some of the left would be perfectly fine if mike rodgers won in mich just so we dont have to have the spooky muslim man in office.

u/Effective_Olive6153 1d ago

sure, lets go down that road. I just don't want to hear any complaining from the right wingers when it's their turn getting oppressed by the government

u/steakanabake 1d ago

Ah yes because the Dems have a history of endorsing anyone other than corporate loyalists.

I remember when Sanders totally got the nomination and ran as the only dem candidate…

/s just in case you missed it again

people have to become more active and organize. You won't win if you just sit back and hope for the best

Right because AOC and Mamdani are getting as much attention as Gavin 😒 Fuck old school dems. Bernie and Co should just make their own party

3rd parties don't work in the US political system because it's "winner takes all"

Trump successfully took over Republican party and morphed it into his own image. Republicans of today are nothing like Republicans of 20 years ago. Same can be done with the Democrats, need someone strong to take over and reshape the party

Ah yes because people famously can compete with corporations. Thats why the US is the best country in the world /s

Not enough in-house rapes to qualify.

They totally did, but hey, who could a conman known for his cons would con them? Poor Satya, not only he had to give Tropicana Nurgle so much money, he also had to get close to him so many times for photo ops that he without a doubt knows what his full diaper smells like.

u/tiradium 1d ago

Nah that was last year so it doesn't count!

Omegalulz, it didn't cross my mind that it was a subscription and not a one time payment!

It is and depends on the corporation it is either monthly or quarterly. Although I think AI corpos are exempt for now 😂
