The Digerati’s Flock to Trump
The digerati, a group of tech-savvy individuals, have turned their attention to a new fascination: the American president. In a surprising turn of events, Democratic Silicon Valley has become Trump country. Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, has even gone so far as to declare Donald Trump’s response to an assassination attempt as “one of the most bad-ass things I’ve ever seen in my life.” This newfound enthusiasm has led to a shift in the tech moguls’ focus, as they seek to control all communications, manipulate emotions, and reprogram the government’s regulatory engine to run in their favor.
By donating millions to Trump’s campaign and inauguration, and showering him with flattery, these tech tycoons have managed to gain the president’s attention and favor. Trump, an 78-year-old Luddite, has been won over by the charm of these young tech moguls, who are able to present him with a constant stream of positive stories and dictation for his social media posts.
At the inauguration, the tech moguls were seated alongside former presidents, a testament to their growing influence. As they jostle for Trump’s attention and vie for loyalty, they post glowing tributes to the president and throw money at him, all in an effort to prove their devotion. The result is a spectacle unlike anything seen before, as these new power players flock to Washington and vie for a place in Trump’s inner circle.
