This is a ruse. The CEO will be at Trump’s inauguration. Zoom out. You’re being used, to bolster Trump’s quest for money and power.

What a long con which started in march 2024 by the democrats with bipartisan support and signed by Biden over the summer. All of this to play in the hands of Trump who had a 50% chance of winning the election based on polls. Wow, what a genius plan...

Zoom out, take the tinfoil off.

The CEO is going to the inauguration to try and hail marry save his app, that's about it.
