Is there a list that keeps track of all companies doing this?

What's the point? They all support Trump even if they don't give money because they want a country for billionaires.

The point of giving the money is potential protection from Trump's wrath and to signify that they are kissing the ring.

The point of the list that tracks that, idk, could just be to keep an eye on what happens to those that openly kissed the ring.

From what I recall:

  • Facebook
  • Apple
  • Google
  • OpenAI
  • Amazon

I was thinking, "oh, surprising that Google and Microsoft are holding some principles, I underestimated then" and now this article

Let's see if Microsoft does the same.

Lining up to buy a piece of the action.

We the people are completely and totally fucked.

This is practically speaking protection money. No one wants to be the one company that Trump decides is too woke and must be destroyed. Therefore everyone kisses the ring.

The U.S is blatantly that corrupt after having managed to elect Donald Trump again, and he's not even bothering to hide anything this time around.
