The CEO of one of Trump's favorite companies just made some telling remarks

1. Thiele and Karp and Musk have the grifter's ear. He is easily manipulated.

They are part of the Venn diagram of influence. And they are very dangerous. They are already hoovering all of our data.

"Coincidentally or not, this also happens to be the most likely end result of several Trump administration policies.

Trump has attempted to shut down the Department of Education, end student loan forgiveness programs and heavily tax the endowments of private universities, all of which would make it harder for the average high school student to go to college. He’s also instituted travel bans, raised immigration fees, suspended refugee programs and targeted 12 million undocumented immigrants for deportation, reportedly using Palantir software to do so.

The president doesn’t have much of an ideology, so it’s tempting for his critics to assume that Trumpism, such as it is, will fade away when he leaves office. But remarks like the ones Karp made at Davos show that there are a lot of powerful people out there with ideologies that can lead to a very similar place.

Trumpism may be defeated one day, but Karpism will live on."
