@rbreich Phew! My company isn't listed but maybe they didn't kick in enough.
@rbreich That money was never meant for a ballroom. It was for whatever those corps wanted that they are building underneath the ballroom.

What do these corporations all have in common?

-Lockheed Martin

-Palantir

-Microsoft

-Amazon

-Comcast

-Google

-Apple

-Meta

-HP

-Nvidia

-T-Mobile

They all have lucrative government contracts and they're all donors to Trump's $400M ballroom.

@rbreich Also they are all fairly evil too.

The least evil... I don't know. I don't know about Lockheed Martin or T-mobile much.

But the others are very evil entities.

@rbreich jeez any war profiteering here?
@rbreich Who could ever dance in such a ballroom without seeing the phantom images of the murdered iranian schoolgirls on the walls?

@rbreich

Oh! What a surprise.

And ... how much have Musk's companies got in US gov subsidies??
