He’s ultra-rich and throws billions around on a whim. Similar scams used to use Bill Gates.

I just started entering various big companies’ names into Twitter and looked at their tweet timelines to see who is still posting as of March 2023, and who stopped posting last October.

  • Ford is still posting, Chevrolet is not.
  • Walmart is still posting, Target is not.
  • HomeDepot is still posting, Lowes is not.
  • The entertainment industry is still posting, including Disney, Paramount, etc.
  • Pharmaceutical firms Merck and Abbott are posting.
  • Tech firms Microsoft and IBM are posting, Apple is not (and they deleted all their tweets.)
  • Sports organizations are still posting.

So some companies have fled the ship.

He’s the world’s biggest turkey who voted in favor of Thanksgiving dinner.

You can’t expect a zealot to recognize they’ve become a zealot. You don’t get to Crazy-town by being a rational thinker, someone who honestly owns their failures and figures out how to improve themselves.

And that’s especially not going to happen to a right wing true believer when blaming someone else (foreigners, LGBTQ+, libtards, criminals, etc.) is foundational to the right wing plan.

It may be surprising that the leader of several successful companies is unaware that the entire plan is a lie told by those who architected it, but as we’ve all noted before, the CEO position is frequently occupied by sociopaths willing to do anything to anyone to get there, and not awarded on merit or wisdom.
