Why are corporate CEOs cozying up to Trump?
Yes, the tax cuts — but it's not just that.
Biden is reviving anti-trust in a massive way, with lawsuits against Amazon, Apple, Ticketmaster, and many more.
Corporate execs are terrified of their monopolies being broken up.
What will it take for the Biden people to put on Econ 101 to show what happens to prices when you break up monopolies and oligopolies? It's an inflation eraser.
I also cannot emphasise enough that most CEOs are petty little creeps who enjoy tormenting those they consider lesser & generally being above the law, it's not some deep economic theory, they just want the Trump consequence-free lifestyle & they'll fuck their businesses to achieve that.
The bus will eventually be driven over them and their wealth taken if Trump becomes an autocratic dictator, as it was in the 1930s during the rise of Hitler and Mussolini.
Stuff that Biden does within six months of reelection when he's behind in the election* is not particularly indicative of how he'll govern if he's reelected.

Pretty sure it has more to do with Trump and Project 2025 promising to eliminate the so-called "administrative state" thereby giving them and corporations unfettered ability to do whatever they want to the public, workers and the planet.
If they back Biden and Trump wins - Trump punishes them
If they back Trump and Trump wins - Trump maybe rewards them, definitely tax cuts.
If they back Biden and Biden wins - No tax cuts, no punishment
If they back Trump and Biden wins - No tax cuts, no punishment
Biden admin may be pursuing antitrust action against Apple, but individuals associated with Apple have given a very minimal amount of money to Trump or any Republicans. No PAC contributions at all.
