Fully support the action, don't know how the timing works...
Best case, you only start to basically outline what this looks like before the election. Worst case, you enliven the complacent, left-centrist billionaires to vigorously join in with the perpetually batshit right wing billionaires to get trump in to "live to fight another day" with the reasoning of, "we need to save ourselves first, then we'll deal with trump when he goes full fascist" and then they either won't be able to or won't care to because they won't want to upset their share price.
Yea, I'm afraid of that, tbh, if more corpos go full elon.
PS: actually, they should be the ones afraid of the organized citizenry anyway, but we're too fragmented ideologically, spatially, communicationally, see if voting can make up for it.
Well, something, but that action is only temporary because those companies that were the result of the division are reunited to form or are acquired by other large companies.
Obviously they will no longer be what they were in the original company. But something is something.
