I don’t like Trump, but if any European Company finds it necessary to bribe Trump in order to make profits for their shareholders, then I am not morally opposed.
The American people democratically elected a corrupt official. These are the new rules.
Now Spotify signing Joe Rogan is a bigger slight, but even there, Joe was relatively OK when they signed him.
Edit: you guys are naive and, I would even say, anti-European.
Trump is selling American assets for pennies on the dollar. Saudi-Arabia, Russia and China have no qualms buying in.
For some European businesses, the American market is key to their survival. You can take a principled stance, while Saudi pays the bribe and forever takes over that market
You are not opposed to companies paying bribes and financing the establishment of a fascist regime? And Joe Rogan has always been an extreme-right promoter, he just used to play dumb about it.
Replacing US big-tech with EU big-tech is the stupidest thing we could do. An oligarch is an oligarch no matter where he is and he will try to buy your government as Musk has done with the USA, the only solution is to prevent anyone from having so much money/power
It’s not that there are no millionaires, it’s that no one has more money than the government that represents the people.
I haven’t done any deeper digging than this. Shout if you find something that contradicts this, pls?
Also, real talk: Bjork hating on a thing kinda makes me more inclined to dump it myself 🤣
Edit: I fucking love this parenthetical here. “Byurk who, just for your information, is a musician who makes music and probably plays some instruments…”
Source please
I agree, source please.
And also $150K is peanuts.

Wild take. $1 is too many $ when you’re paying for a dickhead’s lifestyle.
Edit: also. Rogan has 100% always been a cunt. Change my mind.
The only reasonable number here would be 0.

“Edit”: you guys are anti-European -> Proceeds to spout shockingly anti-European economic talking points. Go team SAUD!

Joanna Newsom also hates Spotify and won’t allow her music on it. She’s on tidal though.
