These corporations just see the writing on the wall, and I’m sure many of them are doing it purely out of self-preservation.

I guess, but as I said, I did not expect the corpos of America that have basically bought the government through lobbyists to be afraid of that. Especially the tech giants, who could probably reshape public opinion with a turn of a dial on their algorithms.

Others probably have some romantic view of industry in Nazi Germany, and think they can glom onto the fascists and become the next Hugo Boss or Volkswagon.

Musk and his companies certainly expect that, but I am skeptical of the others to join in this late.

Both explanations are possible but they seem unlikely to me. I feel like I am missing a piece of the puzzle.
