> Why did the Ayn Rand–loving heroes of tech become Donald Trump’s bootlickers?

Is this a trick question?

For me it is not a trick question. I would like to understand the motivation of tech leaders who line at Trump's feet. What is the worst that may happen to them if they would ignore Trump? All of them already have their underground bunkers in islands far away from US....

Is it worth groveling at the White House just for Trump to turn around and take 15% of your sales in tariffs anyway?

		You don't get to be a billionaire with a feeling of "enough" in your heart.

		As is probably the case with alot things, it may not be that Trump is so great, but that the administration before him were so bad when it came to tech policy.
