Why have the ultra-rich supported Trump?

  • Silicon Valley, in the United States, has been for decades one of the strengths of Democrats. Now, the President of the Generalitat has made a turn in favor of Donald Trump. The big tech companies and their leaders, the richest in the world, have helped the Republican candidate win.
Elon Musk da Trump ekonomikoki gehien babestu duen aberatsenetako bat.

12 November 2024 - 07:00

In an extensive Audience article, the program reviews the testimonies of the wealthiest who have donated money to Republican candidate Trump in the last elections. The article summarizes that Silicon Valley, Wall Street and The Old Economy, all three of them, have headed towards the Republican. As for Silicon Valley, he said: “Turn right, unscrupulously.” The media remembers that investment firms and the oil industry remain alongside Republicans. And the big tech companies, the new ones, have partially changed at a crucial time for Artificial Intelligence, cryptocurrencies and military technology.

In the Publikoa report he narrates how Trump has seduced the wealthy who have paid him and picks up the phrase of a member of the consultant Democracy: "Trump told them, without reddening, that if they handed over millions of dollars to their candidacy, they would do their best to regulate it as it was thought necessary," he added.

Elon Musk, the finest helper

Musk is the ultra-rich who has helped Trump become president, the owner of Tesla and the social network X and one of the richest. The Republican candidate has officially received $130 million as gifts for the election campaign. In return, it will have the mission of drastically reducing federal institutions and agencies, which will allow it to “destroy even more” the weakened welfare state. According to Public-Private, Trump has agreed with Musk to correct the deficit and debt over the next decade “with the help of government cuts.” Some voices claim that Musk can assume some kind of responsibility in the administration during Trump’s mandate, even if he has no experience in the public sector.

Jeff Bezos, from the watchtower of The Washington Post

Jeff Bezos is one of the great millionaires he has wagered on Trump. In Bezos' words, Trump must be "given more opportunities than any other nation" and be the only politician capable of "uniting the America we love". Currently he owns the newspaper The Washington Post and in the past elections, just as Gorka Peñagarikano worked on this article, for the first time in the decade, the newspaper has not positioned itself in favor of the Democratic or Republican candidate. In all the elections from 2008 to 2020, the newspaper opted for the Democratic candidates.

Mark Zuckerberg also wants cake

Mark Zuckerberg is the leader of Meta. Goal is another of the companies that are governed by the harsh laws against monopolies. While Trump is in government, Public says he can benefit from normative changes or “judgments of dubious impartiality.” In 2019, he publicly supported the current president of the United States.
