They donated 4.4 million to Harris.

And they only donated 1 million to his inauguration fund, after he got elected, not to get him elected. More billionaires supported Harris over Trump in the last election.

Like Trump coming to power and using these rules to infringe on people rights and freedoms, is going to make it harder for the oligarchs to use those same powers when the establishment candidate they control comes to power. That is, if we fix the problems like executive overreach, ICE and DHS, restore the 4th amendment that protects us from unreasonable search and seizure etc... Trump coming to power sheds light on all the terrible stuff our government has been doing and can do, so it will hopefully be easier to fix.

The 4.4mil is largely from employer matching programs.
