Brockman donated 25,000,000 dollars to the MAGA superpac, how much more 'outright' would you like him to be, haha.
Shareholder value and MAGA value are a venn diagram of optical illusion.
He claimed, and until today I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, that he was trying to curry favor with a notoriously bribe-able President. Not exactly a paragon of moral virtue, but I wouldn't be able to do business with nearly any company in the US if I made that a dealbreaker. This clears the bar where I'm willing to cut ties and demand that everyone else do the same.
This is not only a big donation. It is actually the BIGGEST donation by any single individual.
