The article discusses how tech moguls Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg have shifted from being critics of Donald Trump to staunch supporters post-2024 U.S. presidential election. Their financial contributions to Trump's campaign and inauguration are seen as opportunistic, especially given their earlier stances. The author draws parallels to historical power shifts, where leaders transition from being challengers of the establishment to becoming enmeshed in it. This pattern reflects a broader truth that immense power often leads to corruption and self-preservation, diverting them from their original ideals of public good.
Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg's support of Trump seems opportunistic given their past criticisms; yet, as they've gained power, they now protect established systems.
These leaders moved from underdog status to the establishment, shifting their focus from public good to self-preservation as their wealth and influence grew.
