  1. You’ve got like 26 hours to make good on Elon being gone by the inauguration. Maybe stop spending so much of your time putting on extra shirts?

  2. > Billionaire CEOs have ~~surrendered to~~ bought Trump

    FTFY

  4. No they did not! They are allies for their personal gain such as “Make me rich again and again”

  5. People with money now kissing our puppet-ass president’s ass.

    Wow, i wonder why… cuz he’s a tool, a cog in the machine. A cog with power that can be bought with something that they have a seemingly endless amount of, while 99% of us do not, neither benefit.

  6. Elitists kissing the ring of fellow elitists so they both continue to get away with whatever they want?

    I’m shocked. Shocked I tell you.

  7. Yes it’s true, their all bending the knee and kissing the ring. They want a piece of the action, all of them are willing to throw any semblance of dignity and ethics out the window, for more power and money…
    Forget morals, or business decorum.
    Profits and tax breaks are being served up at Trumps table of gluttony…

  10. Isn’t that what you wanted? Get rid of the imaginary deep state and replace it with what? You knew that dtrump was a grifter, what did you expect him to fill it with? IDIOT!

  11. It’s like when the feds investigate and find a corporation did something illegal and they issue a fine that is 0.01% of revenue. They just chalk it up as the cost of doing business.

  12. Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them – Orwell

  13. Bannon crying foul now that Trump has moved on from him and is now courting the wealthy. Bannon just sounding like a bitter ex.

  14. Now he’s moving the goal posts instead of launching his war he talked about while wasted on social media.

  15. Surrendered? More like they’ve wrapped him around their fingers…

  17. Bannon has been saying stuff I agree with lately and it makes me uncomfortable. I’m kind of wondering why he is taking this stand when this is generally what he wanted? Maybe it’s a power thing and he doesn’t want Elon and others in on it? I know broken clock and all that but …this feels like I’m missing something

  19. I don’t like the feeling of saying that Steve Bannon is right about something. Of course, it’s mostly sour grapes, he’s just jealous.

  20. I think it’s the reverse. The billionaires own trump.

  23. Trump is draining the swamp … straight into his pocket.

  24. Disagree. Dementia don’s government is oligarchs for oligarchs to make oligarchs richer.

  25. Somehow, Republicans don’t care about the swamp and deep state anymore.

  26. More like they’re playing ball and will likely get what they wanted.

  27. Lol, no, they just bought the useful idiot. All it cost them was money, here’s the thing, they have the money. Poor men want to rich, rich man want to be king…

  28. “Surrendered to”???? They’ve been on the same team the whole time. You are just the latest rube to realize he’s been conned by Trump. Idiot.

  31. Billionares are bending the knee to him and the churches which hold sway to a large portion of Trumps voter base are probably going to legally push their agendas on by with no resistance from Trump.

  32. Surrender implies they were somehow in danger. They haven’t surrendered, they’ve celebrated.

  34. It’s the other way around. Trump surrendered to the billionaires. Bannon is just having trouble accepting that his dear leader has stabbed MAGA in the back.

  35. Sorry Three-Shirts, but it’s the other way around. Dear Leader is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Elon Musk.

  36. Holy fuck do I actually agree with Bannon? Can I just go to sleep for the next 4 or so years?

  37. And after this 4 years is up they will pretend like they didn’t. They have no spines. They’re terrible people.

  38. I dunno what’s worst living through more trump presidency or waiting until he dies and Republicans jump over backwards to name highways after him.

  39. Billionaires will do whatever is necessary to continue the exploitation of our economy to continue increasing their wealth.
    Taking over the government fulfills their need to rig our society for their exploitation

  41. Ya fucking right, they just kiss his ass bc they know in his feeble brain that equals to him owning them, when we all know it’s the complete other way around.

  42. It’s funny that Bannon thinks he is still relevant, but he no longer has anything of value to offer Trump, so he will be discarded like yesterday’s newspaper. Leopards will enjoy eating his face.

  43. Boycott the rich. Tomorrow couldn’t be a better day to start. MLK and Trump’s swearing in. How much more clear can it be to we the people that something needs to change. Stop spending your money. Change where you buy groceries. Go local or go without.

  45. Oh Steve. It isn’t like that at all.

    Billionaire CEOs know what they’re doing. They know who owns who.

  46. This is a delusional take.

    The reality is, they’re using Trump to get what THEY want. Yeah, Trump is getting paid too, but Zuck giving $1m is nothing to Facebook. If he gets anything in return, it will likely be money well spent.

    Just like Elon isn’t bending the knee to Trump. He’s using his association to Trump as a massive power grab.
