Does all this sound like they're actually loving Trump or are there credible threat to their health from the Trump admin? They seemed to fall into line so smoothly and fast that it seems a bit weird.
After his first Presidency, Trump threatened to throw Zuck in prison, more than once.

Quick then Zuck, ban radical ideas like Open Source even harder from Facebook if you want to stay on Don's good side.
Exactly. What changed? Why does Zuck now takes it seriously?
They think they're going to make a lot of money through mergers, acquisitions, and monopolization. All they need to do is suck a little dick publicly
Neither. Trump is a narcissist, so they're trying to get on his good side to get favors down the road.
They want to get on the money train, capitalists have no issue with embracing fascism
Credibly threats to their revenue streams, more like. You don't climb the ladder to billionaire-hood without kissing a few assess and sucking a lot of dick.
I suppose it's possible that if Trump felt that they weren't supporting him in the way he would like, he could introduce laws to make life difficult for them.
Although I suspect behind closed doors the investors don't really feel the need to start meetings off praising Trump (however much he may personally want to be he isn't Stalin), so in this case it might be actual fanaticism.
