I’m so sick of once respected #TechBros kissing ass & bending the knee to #Trump. Just to ensure government sales and continued profits. To wit: Michael Dell courted Trump early. His company has reaped rewards…🩸on his hands, from my pov.

I’m old enough to have worked in the #tech industry back in the day of mini-computers & supermicros powering 12 terminals. Old enough to remember when CP/M was a contender. The people involved were such cool nerds, so energetic & driven, so dedicated to this promising new #technology. I was in the room when Michael Dell, then 24 or so, visited AST Computer in 1987 (and ended up walking out with some or our middle level managers in his pocket). What a story he was. But now, he’s brown-nosing with all the rest. Tim Cook presenting Trump with a solid gold plaque, then joining him on his recent China trip. Zuck lining up to kiss ass. And don’t even get me started on Musk, Thiel (the evil christofascist traitor moved to Argentina) & Andreessen. #dell https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/28/michael-dell-trump-accounts-dod.html

PUTTING THE "MEGA" IN MEGACONSTELLATION

"Two months ago, headlines announced a Space Age milestone: #SpaceX now has more than 10,000 active #Starlink satellites circling Earth--two-thirds of all the working satellites in the sky. Analysts were gobsmacked by the pace of change.

Turns out, that's nothing. Back in January, SpaceX had already filed paperwork asking the FCC for permission to launch a million. The proposed #megaconstellation would become a solar-powered #AIDataDenter, requiring hourly rocket launches carrying a million tons of satellites per year."

REMEMBER:

it’s mostly the #OPEC countries of #Qatar and #SaudiArabia funding this #AI #enshittification. not part of OPEC, but a major investor in #SiliconMAGA is #Norway.

would be nice if our Norwegians peeps would grow a spine and demand their sovereign wealth fund stopped funding #techbros and American #fascism.

this is why i have been against #RealID since the beginning,―it was created as the real substitute to the Total Information Awareness Project that would be controlled by the surveillance “industry” now under control of #SiliconMAGA #techbros.

#RealID is the platform for a true new #JimCrow for all the Americans without yatchs and private planes.

REAL ID IS WHY PALANTIR EXISTS
