The article discusses a recent dinner meeting where 33 prominent Silicon Valley executives and billionaires, including Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg and Microsoft’s Bill Gates, met with Donald Trump to curry favor and ensure their preferred policies continue. The author highlights the irony of these corporate leaders, who once claimed to oppose establishment politics, now ingratiating themselves with an administration that primarily serves corporate interests. Notably, recent policy changes, such as the cancellation of a Biden-era rule for airline compensation and cuts to the IRS budget, benefit corporations and the wealthy at the expense of consumers. The article argues that Trump’s administration is solidifying the power of the oligarchy, sacrificing the interests of everyday Americans, and suggests that his opponents need to emphasize this economic inequality in their messaging.
