I mean Meta, X, and Google have all paid him out so far.

Why would you think he tried to steal the election? What lead you to this belief? I don't think I know anyone in real life who holds this belief, I genuinely don't know why someone would think this.

Not sure what these companies paying the authoritarian tax is supposed to say about anything other than the president openly takes bribes.

Maybe you just don't know anyone who knows any of the facts? -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_fake_electors_plot

I don't want to get too political on HN, but you should know according to the article essentially all of the money went to the government or lawyers, not Trump.

Sure, "not Trump" just the pointless ballroom he decided to have built.

Yeah because we have a fascist fucking government and they are more interested in money than principle.

The effort to have false electors vote for Trump as president in 2020 is extremely documented. What exactly would you call that if not stealing the election?
