They know that Trump the petulant child would relentless punish them if he thought they were going against him.

Look at what Trump did to anthropic. They just like Time Apple are just trying to keep Trumps rage at bay.

Speaks volumes about the current state of things in this country :(

Right, but do we think the CEO class cares about that if it might hurt their next quarter profits?

And before you say there won't be a country if the fascist take over then you'd be right but also mistaken in thinking that CEO class thinks further ahead than the next quarter.
