Yesterday, Donald Trump announced on social media that he had been planning to "surge" troops into San Francisco this weekend -- but was dissuaded from doing so by several tech billionaires. "Friends of mine who live in the area called last night to ask me not to go forward with the surge," Trump wrote.
Mad about Trump's destruction of the East Wing? Blame Big Tech. Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, and Google have a lot riding on their relationships with the current administration. They all cut checks for the ballroom.
