Trying to give something more power because you think it likes power is generally considered risky https://x.com/TimothyDSnyder/status/1849951974944313590?lang

  The exception, of course, is if you expect to co-benefit - Intel sent their CEO to kiss the ring and now they might be getting free investment money out of the deal. But it's definitely a risky strategy.

    That is not an exception, it's exactly what the Tweet is talking about

      It's not. The Intel CEO wasn't obeying "in advance", he went to the White House after Trump announced (with absolutely no explanation) that Intel must fire him.

    It was literally less than 48 hours where the president went from fully negative to fully positive on the intel ceo. I don’t think the ring is all the ceo kissed. That’s the president’s plan for every ceo.
