“President Trump will lead our country into the age of AI, and I am eager to support his efforts to ensure America stays ahead," Altman said in a statement.

Even though he is a gay man like Thiel, it is no surprise he fell into the Musk/Thiel/MAGA axis.

It's just good business. They think they can manipulate Trump, because they are smart, and he isn't.

As has been noted on various social media, the billionaire tech bro club didn't take long to bend the knee and show its true colours.

It’s amazing how the billionaire’s smell money and really want to kiss Trumps bum. I guess some will take a knee for the great Blond billionaire.

To be honest even thought it might be a tad inflationary, I think he should use the threat of tariffs on China. Why? Because Chinese companies can get all the full advantages of a free western democratic/capitalist economy while the CCP can block the very same versions of a product made in the west .not to mention how they force tech transfer. Just because it’s the CCP, cheap Chinese prices does t make it good or fair. We can always buy the very same cheap goods from say Nepal, Bangladesh or somewhere else that may even be an ally. So selective tariffs im On favor of. Especially if we could work together with poorer nations and also implement tariffs with our allies and not against them. (Might be a tad inflationary but we did buy stuff before china started producing junk)

It’s a starting point. Not the end goal!

Exactly, and it's been proven time and time again!

Impossible, that will never happen, advise the man, maybe, but controlling him? Only when Hillary becomes the next talk show host on NBC.

because they are smart,

Yes.

and he isn't.

Let's see now...

Beat 17 professional Republican candidates

Beat one of the strongest female Democrat in history

Beat Mueller and the Russian delusion collusion

Beat the Steel dossier

Beat two impeachments

Won the Presidency

Over 280 accomplishments

Appointed over 300 lower circuit court judges

Apoointed 3 conservative justices to the Supreme Court

Beat bogus way past the stature of limitations sex and business scandals

Beat some of the most politicized Dem radical lawyers

Won the Presidency for the second time by gaining more minorities than any other Republican President in history of the party.

Won the House and the Senate

Yeah, not only would I call that smart, I call that Phoenix who's brilliant.

He didn't do any of that because he's smart, he did all that thanks to Elon Musk, propaganda, republicans controlling the house and the senate, and various other puppet masters. Trump can barely remember his wife's name under oath. He didn't beat any impeachments, the republicans stonewalled because they realized if he went down they would be next. 70% of them are straight up pedos and criminals who need trump to keep them out of jail. Then they played a game of "hey look over there, a trans person!" and "oh those immigrants are the reason eggs are expensive!" and stupid people played along.

Anyway, Sam gave him a million because it was either him or the IRS and one of these two will give him stuff in return for the million and the other one would have used it to feed the poor or something. Ew, who wants that!

Why would they be worried? They have more money than trump by about 1000% and he does whatever

they say like a doting old senile grandfather. He wouldn't even be in power without them. Elon probably spent more money putting him there than Trump has in assets not owned by germany or china lol. Then all the

tech bros raked in 200 billion dollars the day after the election and dumpy got a dollar and his stock kept tanking.

Didn't you see the video of trumpkin trying to pay for something with crypto? He would have been better off sticking to Visa.

He chose them, which makes him smart, the Dems could have gotten him, but they didn't which makes them less smart.

What have you been watching?

He did beat it, he was acquitted twice, in fact.

70% of them are straight up pedos and criminals who need trump to keep them out of jail. Then they played a game of "hey look over there, a trans person!" and "oh those immigrants are the reason eggs are expensive!" and stupid people played along. 

The problem is illegal aliens, not legal ones, regardless of the rhetoric the left tries and spin.

Anyway, Sam gave him a million because it was either him or the IRS and one of these two will give him stuff in return for the million and the other one would have used it to feed the poor or something. Ew, who wants that!

Can you verify this?
