Vice President JD Vance said Saturday that "we believe fundamentally that big tech does have too much power," despite the prominent positioning of tech CEOs at President Trump's inauguration last week.

Wait until Big Tech buys those nuclear reactors.

War games but like advanced super intuitive AI war games where the nukes are (preemptively) sent to negotiate when a stock market falls double-digits.

Big tech.... Besides Google, Amazon, Facebook (meta group), twitter and Tesla.

Good thing those guys are all small fish. Lol /s

I agree with the statement Vance said about big tech having too much power, but when you look at who the president is cozying up to it sure doesn't look like he's going to be big on pulling power away from his new buddies.

We shall see though. Trump is a notorious loose cannon. He could random turn on them at any point.

Leopards are actively eating my face but it’s probably fine. In fact, I’ll give the leopards several billion dollars and then they’ll like me. God, I’m lonely. But the leopards are always there.

President Musk isn't going to like hearing that from you. Get back in your hole!

Who would ever give a shit what these clowns think? How is this news?

Oh right we're violently controlled by these wackos...

Cool. Distribute it across the economy then.

For those not interested in a 20-min interview of JD Vance... tldw summary?

Oh my god he admit it.

[-] Brainsploosh@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

They buy one election, and suddenly they have "too much power"...

Politicians of today are spoiled rotten

The irony is that buy off is Republican at the moment

[-] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Good news! Something called DeepSeek apparently just dunked on your big tech by cutting the Nasdaq 3% and talking smack about your mothers.

Reading the article, it sounds to me like he is saying "More to the left guys, I want to see Don's anus rimmed squeaky clean!"

[-] Critical_Thinker@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

I say that the executive branch has not been given the power to create laws or judge whether or not they are legal... but that seems to be what his administration has unilaterally decided is true now.

The laws are on the books. They should be implemented in good faith by the executive branch. This is not being done.

“…and that’s what my tech boss told me to say.”

[-] leaky_shower_thought@feddit.nl 2 points 3 months ago

big tech just hasn't shown its ultimate rizz yet -- as compared to its siblings big guns, big pharma, and big crypto.

[-] plz1@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

This is either a gaslighting thing or a "clock is correct 2x/daily" thing. It's not sincere in respect to them doing anything about it, for sure.

now that we’ve gained power, it’s time to lock the door behind us

I could never interview this douche without the first question being "And how long have you worked here?"

[-] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Yet I'm sure his investments in it have done very well for him.
