He only cares about himself and the money he got from them. The better question is why all those tech billionaires supported him.

short-term profit i guess. tech companies get unlimited ability to fuck over society's minds, trump gets some propaganda or sth, idk.

The group of toolbags parked behind trump at his inauguration all have one thing in common: they live so far up their own arses the concept of "no", "no one wants this" and "you cannot do this" is so foreign to their fantasies it feels like offense.
