We saw it over a several month period with Elon Musk and Tesla. We saw it again a few weeks ago with Disney, parent company of ABC, and Kimmel. Both cases showed a very effective way of punishing tyranny by hitting the offending parties in the pocket book.
Musk’s gutting of federal institutions infuriated the public, and his Tesla company suffered massive financial losses as a result. The assault on freedom of speech by Disney and ABC, were also met with harsh public sentiment and financial loss.
It took Musk’s retreat from DOGE to stop the bleeding of his company.
