Guy has shown himself to grant massive favors for mild compliments and impose massive penalties for mild insults.
It’s rare that you can make a difference of millions of dollars for your company by just saying nice things for an hour, so execs are jumping at the chance.
TBH, I can’t blame them. It’s the same motivation that pushed these companies to embrace gays and trans people. They’re all paying customers. Line must go up sometimes means you advertise to and publicly embrace marginalized communities in search of larger market share. Sometimes it means you kiss the ring of the ensuing fascist ruler.

I mean, I can blame them. Just because something is smart doesn’t mean it’s ethical or showing any integrity.
I get “that’s the job” but that’s never been a valid excuse in history.
I definitely can (and do) blame them for courting fascists.
