  4. #sergeybrin is an immigrant who isn’t paying his taxes. Can we send #ice ?

  5. #sergeybrin is paying the cost of an airbus 320 (100mil) to avoid paying 120% of the Los Angeles Lakers (12.5bil).

    #billionaires scale breaks our brains. 100 million usd is a colossal amount. But 15 billion usd is what he’d owe, which is more than the worth of one of the most recognizable sports franchises in the history of the world.

    And it’s a one time 5% tax. 5%. And that’s just one dude walking around. Shitting. Pissing. Bleeding. One guy.

    Broken.

  6. Chiara Pedrocchi: “Fuga da Big Tech” (guerredirete, 13 mag. 2026)

    [...] Ma cosa – o meglio chi – sono queste piattaforme? Tra quelle citate, si possono raggruppare Facebook e Instagram (e WhatsApp), del gruppo Meta fondato da Mark Zuckerberg. C’è poi YouTube, proprietà come Google della holding Alphabet Inc., di cui i fondatori di Google, Larry Page e Sergey Brin, sono ancora i maggiori azionisti e membri del consiglio di amministrazione, detenendo di fatto il controllo dell’azienda, pur non essendo più amministratori delegati. Meta ha […]

  10. The Guardian | Tech billionaires are spending unprecedented sums in California races. Experts say it’s the tip of the iceberg by Dara Kerr

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Tech billionaires are pouring unprecedented sums of money into California’s June 2 primary to shape the state’s political and regulatory future, funding candidates, ballot measures and super‑PACs at both state and local levels. Google co‑founder Sergey Brin has spent $66 million fighting a proposed billionaire tax, while crypto mogul Chris Larsen has contributed $26 million across multiple super‑PACs targeting races from the governor’s race—where Democrat Matt Mahan has received almost $50 million in tech donations—to legislative and municipal contests. Google and Meta have each added $5‑10 million to additional super‑PACs, and the industry’s lobbying spend in 2025 reached $39 million, surpassing oil and gas. Experts say this massive spending is an existential strategy to secure political influence that will protect and accelerate Silicon Valley’s growth, especially in artificial intelligence, warning that the disclosed spending likely represents only a fraction of the overall influence effort.

    “Among the new members of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (#PCAST) are #MarcAndreessen, #SergeyBrin, #MichaelDell, #LarryEllison, and #MarkZuckerberg.”

    so:

    ❝ TRUMP APPOINTS #FriendsOfEpstein BILLIONAIRES TO PCAST

    Trump appoints billionaires who appear in the #EpsteinFiles as part of a mailing list of #FriendsOfEpstein who enjoyed unconference "MONEY & POWER" weekends at his pedophile island, or shared tips on insider-trading or how to build a master race ranch ❞

  14. "Trump remembers to appoint science panel, fills it mostly with tech bros."

    Among the new members of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (#PCAST) are #MarcAndreessen, #SergeyBrin, #MichaelDell, #LarryEllison, and #MarkZuckerberg.

    If you're curious, Wikipedia lists the PCAST members under Biden and Obama.

  15. #Trump staffs #science & #technology panel with non-scientists

    The list of appointees was finally released…There are still 9 unfilled vacancies on the council, so it's possible more scientists will be named later. But 4 now, #PCAST is heavily tilted toward extremely wealthy tech figures.

    These include investor #MarcAndreessen , Google's #SergeyBrin , #MichaelDell of Dell, #LarryEllison of #Oracle, #JensenHuang of #NVIDIA , #LisaSu of AMD, & Mark #Zuckerberg of #Meta.

  17. So Sergey Brin would be paying upwards of $12 billion (for the one time 5% tax), but he is only currently spending under $50 million on lobbying?

    $50M is only 1/240th of one-time wealth tax? Crazy. Dude is worth $247 billion.
