It's less than 100 days in, and courting Musk turned out to be at least as important. Give it a bit of time. Maybe DOGE-stylists will give API access to Meta and Oracle for whatever excuse they can come up with.

What a weird headline. Good? Corruption is bad? Donations to political candidates should not "pay off"

    Headlines, like most journalism, ought to be neutral. Your reaction is valid; another reaction might be anger, that these CEOs are firing workers in service of funding corrupt (and now, fruitless) ambitions.

Might there be a Control Group - of top-tier Tech CEO's who did not bother $pending big to court Trump - which we could compare to?

It has paid off. The market is tanking. /s

Do we really want CEOs corrupting our government like the last administration? This sounds like a good thing to me.
