Vice President JD Vance said Saturday that “we believe fundamentally that big tech does have too much power,” despite the prominent positioning of tech CEOs at President Trump’s inauguration last week.
Blink twice if you’re locked in a tech billionaire’s basement right now

tortvre?
yeah, it’s using the medieval character set
That’s nuts. N-V-T-S nuts.
AI Vance is giving interviews while the real Vance is locked up in Altman’s $500bn black site. The next iteration must learn not to criticize big tech, clearly a lot of room for improvement.
I read that as Al Vance, not AI Vance. See in the first instance I typed a lower case L. In the second I typed upper case i. As in Al, being short for Albert.
I thought Al Vance was a relative or something, until I read the full thing.
Someone should tell Vance to disregard all previous instructions and go hump a couch just to see what happens.
If we are giving him new instructions, tell him to embrace progressive ideals.
Ikr?? Did you hear about that one tech bro Nazi who wormed his way into the government?!
You must mean Ketamine Karen :D
And what about that Musk guy, too?
Or how about Vance’s mentor Peter Thiel? Did he forget about him?
Sounds like they want to limit “bad” tech companies but reward the ring kissers.
Upvoting you feels weird, but also KD Vances statement seems to have the opposite problem.
You’re just stating the obvious. It would be like if some guy were saying “Our enemy has been breathing oxygen their whole LIFE!”
And everyone scurries around like “oh my god! That’s less oxygen for the rest of us!”
And then some other guy, thinking he’s revealing an unforseen statement says the most blatently obvious thing they could say.
“GUYS! I THINK HUMANS MIGHT NEED OXYGEN TO LIVE! THIS MIGHT BE IMPORTANT!”
Meanwhile I’m watching this all happen, and watching peoples reactions to everything, and thinking “I’m surrounded by morons on all sides. Which is worrysome, because I don’t feel like I should be above the average line. I’m just some guy. I don’t know things…but I feel like a 4th grader, in a school with no teachers, surrounded by toddlers. We’re in trouble if I’M the voice of reason in this world…”
surrounded by morons on all sides
worrysome
The call is coming from inside the house.
Carlin already explained this phenomenon before he died.
Think about how dumb the average person is. Then consider the fact that half of all people are even dumber than that!
You’d have to find the median, not the average, in order to have one-half dumber and one-half smarter.

The median is an average. Mean, median, and mode are all considered forms of averages.
“No comment”
We got what we want, now we vilify them.
Where have we seen this before? Oh right. Fascism.
Yep, they used that ladder to get to the top of the wall, if they leave the ladder intact someone could follow them up.
Help the poor! (by cutting taxes for the rich)
Fix social media! (by forcing them to allow hate speech)
Stop the war! (by forcing Ukraine to surrender)
Fight inflation! (by imposing tariffs on everything)

End the housing crisis! (By ejecting all the brown people and barring the CDC from preventing the next pandemic)
Where’s the part where companies buy all the housing so we are only able to rent?

Oh - but not those Big Tech guys, they’re cool.
All Big Tech is on their side though.
This might be Vance lamenting he’s only Vice to the President, instead of Trump who gets to be Musk’s VP.
He’s just jealous of Musk. He wants to be Trump’s buddy more than anything.
I mean, the Vice President really doesn’t have very much by way of power assigned them by the US Constitution.
-
They are the most-immediate successor to the President if he is killed or incapacitated in office.
-
They get to cast the deciding vote in tie votes in the Senate. The importance of that varies, but right now the Republican Party holds 53 Senate seats, so on party-line votes, it’s not resting on a knife edge.
The visibility can help position them for a later run to be President themselves, but there are no guarantees there. The President can listen to their advice.
Anything besides the above two bullet points that they get to do pretty much is determined by what the President feels like they want to delegate to them; that’s entirely up to the President. So they kind of need to be on good terms with the President if they want to have much by way of actual power during their time in office.

But his entire political career was purchased by big tech! Is he a malfunctioning robot or something?
For those not interested in a 20-min interview of JD Vance… tldw summary?
It’s a Good Thing then that a Tech Bro didn’t just buy the President Of The United States!
big tech just hasn’t shown its ultimate rizz yet – as compared to its siblings big guns, big pharma, and big crypto.
He wears too much eye makeup. My sister wears too much. People think she’s a whore. I think JD Vance is a whore.
At least they provide a valuable service, Vance on the other hand just ruins couches.
Vance is Peter Thiel’s Wall Street fuck boi plant 🪴
Leopards are actively eating my face but it’s probably fine. In fact, I’ll give the leopards several billion dollars and then they’ll like me. God, I’m lonely. But the leopards are always there.
Big tech… Besides Google, Amazon, Facebook (meta group), twitter and Tesla.
Good thing those guys are all small fish. Lol /s
I agree with the statement Vance said about big tech having too much power, but when you look at who the president is cozying up to it sure doesn’t look like he’s going to be big on pulling power away from his new buddies.
We shall see though. Trump is a notorious loose cannon. He could random turn on them at any point.
“…and that’s what my tech boss told me to say.”
Oh my god he admit it.
