“CEO is maga” is the equivalent of going: “Lulzagna wants to force everybody on the planet to only eat lasagna and nothing else, because he tweeted ‘I like lasagna’ once”.
Context:
Trump was still in his “I hate social media because social media won’t force users to praise me” phase. He appointed a person known to be very pro-consumer and very anti big-tech to an important job at the DOJ. Democrat accounts defaulted to “whatever Trump does is bad” and started shitting on the pick. Proton CEO wrote:
Great pick by @realDonaldTrump. 10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned. People forget that the current antitrust actions against Big Tech were started under the first Trump admin.
Which is all literally just stating facts. The only opinion here is that the pick is good - which, from the standpoint of a company that supports privacy and consumers - makes sense.
Then please provide details or links or something, because as someone who’s trying to figure out what’s going on here, you’re doing more arguing than explaining.
It’s a bit shit of you to call me a maga bot just because I didn’t know something.
I don’t go on reddit any more anyway.
Thanks for the link, though, I’ll have a look now.
Edit: Wow, that’s a bunch of crap from proton. I was thinking of switching to them. Crap.
I agree that corporate capture of dems is real, but to paint the magats as being for the little guy is insane!

You have to take the timeline into consideration.
It was all written before Trump 2.0. At that time, and specifically regarding tech, Republicans had much more to offer the “little guy” than Democrats.
Was it completely accidental, just because Trump was throwing a hissy fit? Yes. Did it end as soon as the big tech people started throwing money and praise at him? Also yes. But both of those things happened after the tweets and the comments were posted.
Just read this. It’s a full analysis of not only the CEO’s comments, but also of what Proton does in general. They do not support Republicans.
Oh, JFC, can we stop with this bullshit already?

Here’s a deeper analysis, including a dive into those antitrust actions started by Trump 1.0, and projects that Proton helps financially.
That’s not what I’m referring to. You seen ignorant to their other comments.

Oh, please, don’t let me stop you from elaborating!
You maga bots don’t have access to Google?
