So this is the reason behind the news of M$ dropping their DEI team...
I wonder how Bill Gates will cope with the fact that a lot of MAGA chuds are anti-vaxxers.
Just a reminder that he's not associated with M$FT dealings in any way anymore.
It's all mask-off for Satya though, he used to at least play a reasonable persona.
MAGAts will still likely cry "fuck Bill Gates" a lot though, and might still have a hard time buying non-luxury (non-Apple) PCs due to that.
i'm sure a quick look at stock prices will sweeten the pill.
If they're not getting horribly boycotted. After a certain point, MAGA chuds won't mass buy copies of Hogwarts Legacy style shovelware to dump it onto key reselling sites for cheap, to trigger the libs.
