  6. It’s fair to say that Hollywood is in crisis, or at least in transition.

    Studios getting taken over,
    culture wars all over the place,
    and gen AI rearing its head.

    The last thing they need is an #interventionist #president determined to wage war on the entertainment industry,
    as well as no doubt extracting what value he can.

    Donald #Trump, as we know, is very interested in the movie business:
    in his pre-politics days, he made dozens of appearances in films, as well as on TV.

    It seems very likely that he’s eyeing a place at Hollywood’s top table after he leaves office
    (presuming he does).

    Perhaps that’s what is behind his most spectacular recent intervention:
    demanding, and getting, a fourth #Rush #Hour movie from the new owners of Paramount Pictures,
    the studio that was recently taken over by #David #Ellison,
    son of #Larry, one of Trump’s key allies.

    Coincidentally, Trump’s son-in-law
    #Jared #Kushner is one of the funders of Paramount’s subsequent bid to derail #Netflix’s takeover of #Warner #Bros,
    with Trump himself suggesting he might influence US corporate regulators to prevent the Netflix deal from going ahead.

    And of course, in the background,
    is Trump’s threat of non-specific “#tariffs” on the film industry, ostensibly aimed at keeping movie production inside the US.
    But, arguably, this could also be a way of keeping Hollywood’s top executives nervous and pliable.

  8. 'Chatham House Rule'

    Torenberg launched Chatham House the summer of 2024,
    naming it after a British think tank that formalized the insight that
    trusted conversations require a degree of privacy.

    Two of its conservative participants said they see the group as a way to shift centrist Trump-curious figures to the Republican side,
    but its founder said he’d begun it to have “a left-right exchange where we could have real conversations because of filter bubble group chats.”

    Chatham House includes high-profile figures like the economist
    #Larry #Summers and the historian #Niall #Ferguson,
    and more partisan figures like #Shapiro and the Democratic analyst #David #Shor.

    #Andreessen lurks.

    But several participants described it to me as something like a gladiatorial arena with #Cuban most often in the center,
    sparring with conservatives.

    (“no idea what you are talking about :)” Cuban emailed in response to an inquiry about his arguments on Chatham House.)

    The Group Chat Era depended on part of the American elite feeling shut out from public spaces,
    and on the formation of a new conservative consensus.

    Both of those are now fading
    (though Torenberg has invested in a company called #ChatBCC that wants to commercialize the heady experience of sitting in on texts among the power elite).

    Since Elon Musk turned X to the right
    and an alternative media ecosystem emerged on Substack,
    “a tremendous amount of the verboten conversations can now shift back into public view,” Andreessen told Fridman.

    “It’s much healthier to live in a society in which people are literally not scared of what they’re saying.”

    And Trump’s destabilizing “Liberation Day” has taken its toll on the coalition Andreessen helped shape.

    You can see it on X,
    where investors joke that they’ll put pronouns back in their bios in exchange for a return to the 2024 stock prices,
    and where #Srinivasan has been a leading critic of Trump’s tariffs.

    “Group chats have changed on the economy in the last few weeks,”
    said #Rufo.
    “There’s a big split on the tech right.”

    The polarity of social media has also reversed,
    and while participants used to keep their conservative ideas off social media,
    “now the anti-Trump sentiment is what you’re afraid to say on X,” one said.

    By mid-April, #Sacks had had enough with Chatham House:
    “This group has become worthless since the loudest voices have TDS,”
    he wrote, shorthanding
    “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

    Then he addressed Torenberg:
    “You should create a new one with just smart people.”

    Signal soon showed that three men had left the group:
    The Sequoia partner #Shaun #Maguire,
    the bitcoin billionaire #Tyler #Winklevoss, and #Tucker #Carlson.

  13. #Charles #Koch, perhaps the most legendary Republican financier of recent decades,
    has never backed Trump, either.

    The political network affiliated with him and his late brother #David remained officially neutral in the Presidential races of 2016 and 2020,
    and spent tens of millions of dollars trying to defeat Trump in this year’s Republican primaries,
    -- much of it supporting Haley.

    When she dropped out, the Koch network concentrated on down-ballot races.

    But Kochworld, like the Republican Party more broadly, remains divided.

    “There are a lot of donors in that network lobbying Charles from the perspective of,
    I know you don’t like him,
    but he’s better than the alternative,”
    Marc Short, who worked for a Koch-affiliated group
    and later served as Vice-President Mike Pence’s chief of staff, said.

    Nevertheless, neither Koch nor Pence is supporting Trump this fall
    —a remarkable rift, given the role that each of them has played in Republican politics.

    At the same time, Trump has cultivated a new group of what might be called #maga #megadonors.

    A study conducted for The New Yorker by the campaign-finance expert Robert Maguire,
    of the nonprofit good-government group #crew,
    found that, as of this summer,
    more than forty of the G.O.P.’s biggest super-pac donors during Romney’s 2012 campaign had never given to a pro-Trump super pac,
    including Oracle’s co-founder #Larry #Ellison,
    the Dallas real-estate tycoon #Harlan #Crow,
    and the hotel magnate J. W. #Marriott, Jr.

    Meanwhile, nearly sixty pro-Trump donors in the study,
    including #Lutnick, #Mellon, #Perlmutter, and the Wisconsin shipping magnates #Richard and #Elizabeth #Uihlein, had given nothing to the pro-Romney super pac.

    Others have significantly increased their giving.

    The #Adelsons, for example, donated $53 million to the pro-Romney super pac in 2012 and $90 million to support Trump in 2020,
    when they were the largest individual donors of the cycle.

    By the end of September, Miriam Adelson had given $100 million to back Trump in 2024.

    With such sums at stake, Trump has pursued what the former Bush Pioneer called a “high touch” approach to the Republican billionaire class.

    🔥The ex-President has all but invited donors to view their contributions as business investments,
    telling oil-and-gas executives who went to see him in April at Mar-a-Lago, for example, that,
    💥because he would allow unrestricted drilling,
    🧨they should raise $1 billion for his campaign
    —a statement redolent of Sondland’s “quid pro quo” that soon leaked to the Washington Post.

    The campaign’s strategy, another longtime fund-raiser told me,
    was essentially to let Trump be Trump:

    “He talks the same book to everybody.”

    Oliver, the former Bush finance director, observed that the difference between the model of the Bush campaigns and Trump’s is the difference between having a large pool of “institutional investors” which had been built up in the course of years, and a series of ad-hoc “transactional” dealings with a relatively small group of the ultra-rich.

    Sean Wilentz, a historian at Princeton University, offered another key distinction. Trump’s billionaires—many of whom have made their fortunes as hedge-fund managers, activist investors, and corporate raiders—tend to be highly motivated ideologues and individual operators. “It’s transactional, but their end of the bargain is a lot different than just having access to the President of the United States,” Wilentz told me. “They see Trump as their instrument. This is an investment for them to take power.” Wilentz noted that, unlike the “traditional corporate conservative élite” dating back to the Gilded Age, this new “class of the super-rich” appears both more numerous and less civic-minded. “The other guys might have been robber barons,” Wilentz said. “These guys are oligarchs.”

  14. For all Trump’s success in winning back reluctant conservative billionaires,
    many of them have seen firsthand the ways in which his erratic behavior
    and anti-market ideas
    could disrupt their businesses and the wider economy.

    After Trump became President, he asked Schwarzman to enlist high-profile business executives to serve on an advisory council.

    The participants included #Musk;
    #Jamie #Dimon, the C.E.O. of JPMorgan Chase;
    #Mary #Barra, of General Motors;
    #Bob #Iger, of Disney;
    #Larry #Fink, of BlackRock;
    and #Jack #Welch, the former C.E.O. of General Electric.

    It was a perfect Trump setup:

    the biggest brand names in American business would come to the White House,
    kiss his ring,
    and offer free advice.

    But, as one of the panel’s members recalled,
    the first session quickly devolved into an argument between Trump and several participants over his false allegation that China was manipulating its currency.

    In the summer of 2017, following Trump’s comments about there being
    “very fine people on both sides” of the white-supremacist march in Charlottesville, Virginia,
    the group convened an emergency call and decided to disband.

    After Schwarzman conveyed the news to the White House, Trump preëmptively tweeted that he had decided to shut the group down.

    Early this summer, Trump’s campaign surprised the Business Roundtable,
    a members-only organization of corporate C.E.O.s,
    with a last-minute acceptance for the ex-President to appear at the group’s quarterly meeting in Washington.

    Andrew Ross Sorkin, the Times’ financial columnist and a host of “Squawk Box,” on CNBC,
    reported that even C.E.O.s at the meeting who were sympathetic to Trump had found the former President 🔸uninformed and ♦️“remarkably meandering.”

    A source in the room told me that Trump’s digressions included complaints about his court cases and “crazy rants about Venezuelan immigrants.”

    Soon after the event, Jeffrey Sonnenfeld,
    a professor at Yale University who tracks the political preferences of America’s corporate leaders,
    wrote in an op-ed for the Times that not a single Fortune 100 C.E.O. had donated to Trump by June of this year,
    something he called a “telling data point.”

    In fact, Sonnenfeld argued, the lack of giving to Trump from traditional Republican donors in the business community was the real fund-raising story,
    “a major break from overwhelming business and executive support for Republican Presidential candidates dating back over a century.”

    Sonnenfeld told me that such giving “fell off a cliff” when Trump became the Party’s nominee
    —going from more than a quarter of Fortune 100 C.E.O.s in 2012,
    when Mitt Romney was the G.O.P. candidate,
    💥to zero in 2016.

    In 2020, he noted, only two Fortune 100 C.E.O.s had given to Trump
    —someone in the energy sector who is no longer running his company
    and #Safra #Catz, the C.E.O. of the Oracle software corporation.

    One lobbyist who speaks with many corporate C.E.O.s told me,
    “Unanimously, they hate the Biden Administration’s policies.
    But I think almost unanimously they would much rather deal with that than the risk of catastrophic disaster from a Trump Administration.”

    By fall, the only Business Roundtable member publicly backing Trump was Schwarzman.
