Big Tech Pays Up to Buy Proximity to Power
When Davos calls, even the exiled answer, especially when a million dollars is on the table. Microsoft and McKinsey, pillars of the 'apolitical' corporate world, are reportedly funneling seven-figure sums to secure a platform for Donald Trump. This isn't just about 'dialogue'; it's about buying direct access, ensuring their corporate interests are heard, and showing how easily money paves the
roads to power, regardless of who wields it. One might wonder if this hefty sponsorship guarantees a seat at the table, or simply ensures their quarterly earnings calls aren't interrupted by an inconvenient antitrust investigation. It appears capitalism's ultimate neutrality is its unwavering loyalty to profit, not principle.
