They will almost always disappoint anyone hoping they risk losing even a dime to stand up for democracy.
“We have a fiduciary responsibility to our stockholders.”
It is always a pleasant surprise when a corporate leader does the right thing.

@danwentzel Historically the wealthy have been the primary supporters of fascism.
The week before Hitler gained power, Göring sent letters inviting Germany's top 25 industrialists to a secret meeting. At the meeting, Hitler said "private enterprise cannot be maintained in a democracy" and promised to eliminate trade unions.
The industrialists were so enthusiastic, they went on to raise 3 million Reichsmarks to strengthen and confirm Nazi power. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Meeting_of_20_February_1933

The fascist Tech Bros are the 2026 equivalent of those Nazi party funding supporters.

@danwentzel Corporations only exist for the explicit purposes of protecting rich people from the consequences of their actions. They serve no other purpose or master.
