Silicon Valley, the humiliating rush of Internet giants to jump on Donald Trump's bandwagon

Painful genuflection of the big names of Silicon Valley to win the benevolence of President Trump. Companies are governmental by definition, as the lawyer Agnelli always reminded, but there is style and style

Silicon Valley, the humiliating rush of Internet giants to jump on Donald Trump's bandwagon

The lawyer Agnelli he always said that the Fiat was governmental by definition. It was unthinkable that the largest Italian company would get in the way and not have good relations with the Government with which he had to dialogue every day. It is a universal rule that applies to all companies that have to do business and not politics and that obviously have to interact with the executive power. But there are ways and ways. Dialogue with the Government does not necessarily imply genuflection which is instead the dominant and humiliating figure these days at the court of Trump. They look like "Three Wise Men bringing gifts for the inauguration of the Trump presidency" wrote Massimo Gaggi sarcastically on Corriere della Sera. What a sad spectacle that of the Internet giants and the pioneers of Silicon Valley: everyone is ready to jump on the bandwagon of the new American President Donald Trump. The cunning and disconcerting Elon Musk but many have followed suit, as recently Mark Zuckerberg, ready to give free rein to fake news to honor The Donald. But even Microsoft, Facebook and Google did not have many scruples. Sad story.
