Mary Trump - The Dude Bros Bow Down

The social media dude bros are clearly not content with allowing racism, antisemitism, misogyny and deadly lies about diseases and vaccines to spread on their unregulated platforms. Instead, Silicon Valley sociopaths like Mark Zuckerberg are finding creative new ways to obey in advance—all in service of helping Donald Trump spread disinformation and division just so they can keep getting richer, democracy and humanity be damned.

The greatest offender continues to be Elon Musk, who spent a quarter of a billion dollars to help purchase Donald Trump’s presidency (or his shadow presidency—the jury is still out). This week Musk announced that he’s changing the Twitter algorithm to promote “positive” posts. This move is designed to suppress content that is critical of Donald, which is a clear indication that the so-called “free speech warriors” are hell-bent on erasing content that challenges their agendas.

During the election, and increasingly since then, many others—from Zuckerberg to Jeff Bezos and Sam Altman of OpenAI, have followed suit. They seem to be engaged in a game of one-upmanship to see who can grovel most extravagantly.

Few multi-billionaires have worked as hard as Jeff Bezos to get on Donald’s good side. Having brought low one of America’s greatest papers by interfering with his editorial board’s decision to publish an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris, among other things, Bezos is currently spending $40 million to license a documentary and limited series on Amazon Prime about Melania, who may be one of the most uninteresting and vapid people in Donald’s entire orbit—which is really saying something.
