The only difference is the billionaires are Tech instead of Wall Street for the last several decades.

They are one and the same now.

An administration made up entirely of billionaires. Good luck America.
......

Actually, there were more billionaires on the side of Biden admin, just to be fact-checked, not even close to that regard. Please keep in mind that the current drive of Internet censorship was at its apex during the Biden admin, by a wide margin. Except for Musk and Peter Thiel, I cannot come up with another tech billionaire who was on the side of Trump at the beginning of his 2.0 drive. So in Chinese, Musk et al have "从龙之功"，while others like Bezos and Zuck are just icing on the cake. This is a very important fact if you actually care about US politics...

Some people think that the US had three centres of power, Wall Street, Silicon Valley and Hollywood. Well Hollywood and Wall Street have big probklems, it the turn of Silicon Valley to rule now.

They are one and the same now.

The tech ones seem to care slightly more about politics or their own personal cult compared to Wall Street goal of wealth extraction.

Is that a OnePlus/Oppo 12 or 13 phone that person is holding?

The camera makes me think it's a OnePlus 12 or 13.

That person is also Xie Feng who is the Chinese ambassador to the US, so hopefully the phone is hardened.

The bank never raises my fees. Amazon prime raises my fees almost every couple of months. Elon wants to sell me a car that has no gauge cluster.

That’s what I’m afraid of. China’s worst enemy has always been itself.

That is true for every big country in history.

Dayum, that's some impressive levels of stupid. It's one thing to fuck shit up really badly like the Americans; at least it was very difficult to anticipate the TikTok Refugee movement on XiaoHongShu. I likened it to a bad mistake, like a crab accidentally crawling into a hotpot but this is like a crab seeing his friend crawl into the hotpot, get his dying corpse picked out in a writhing scalding heap, then deciding that that looks pretty fun; he wants to try it too!

How mamy estonian voters r in tiktok anyway?
