Its a tough ask for any mega corporation to be indifferent to the power an administration can wield against you. Especially one that actively seeks retribution and petty grievances.

Spines: the more money you have, the harder they are to afford.

I'm beginning to think there's a relation between the two. If you have morals you'd never be a billionaire, your conscience would hate your robber baron behavior too much. But there are probably unnoticed billionaires who are actually quite moral, e.g. Warren Buffett, that is a counterpoint to this idea. (This thought of mine is quite shallow/unresearched, so perhaps under this comment will soon be the reply of how Buffett is an asshole...)

And that might take poorly to anyone influential that predicted an election loss for the administration? Maybe to the extent of suing them and/or seeking to prosecute them? Yeah, that computes.
