WASHINGTON - Top Biden administration officials had previously undisclosed ties to large corporations including tech giants Microsoft Corp, Alphabet’s Google and Facebook Inc, financial disclosures by the White House show.
According to the filings with the Office of Government Ethics, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan served on an advisory council for Microsoft from 2017 through May of last year. He was paid $45,000 last year, according to his disclosure, a copy of which was seen by Reuters. The White House said in a statement on Sunday that officials such as Sullivan are “experienced government leaders whose past private sector experience is part of a broad and diverse skill set they bring to government service.”
But those aides let go of their extremely high paid positions in the private sector to join Biden because they love America... It's definitely not to lobby on behalf of those companies and later return to their positions with a big bonus...
So does Biden have anything to do with large tech companies teaming up to block Trump?
Who can guarantee such official doesn’t join those tech firms after their govt service? That is exactly the US government revolving door corruption.
It's not surprising at all in US. Money talk, so-called vote democracy = money democracy. Capitalists pick up the politicians they like it they can control then politicians pay back by implementing policy favor to them. Common sense.
They even has SPAC readied for merger.

Divest Divest Divest.
That's why they eagerly shut down trumps twitter account
So what?
But is he a member of Biden's family Trump's family employees gouged us for millions...
Ok. Thanks.
'experienced gov leaders whose past private sector experience is part of a broad and diverse skill set they bring ...not participating in decisions directly affecting Microsoft, has not had any contact with the company and is consulting with NSC lawyers to remain in compliance.”
Biden aides had jobs that they did not lie about having, the absolute HORROR.
who the F cares.
Of course they do because of K. Harris. She is the largest supporter of big tech and that was one of the main reasons she was chosen as VP even though there were much more qualified ppl for the position. It was her big tech donors and big tech connections that won her the job
But unlike Trump’s people, they don’t own the companies, and so not enriching their own pockets.
Of course they do.
And?
STOP THE CLICK BATE!!! I thought is supposed to be considered real news.
So what? Should he have been unemployed then, before working for administration. It show POTUS is bringing in qualified people. News media needs to stop creating controversy for ratings. Stop the click bate and start reporting news worthy real news
So?
So?
Is this bad? I mean, they had to work SOMEWHERE.
If or unless he gets as corrupt as the ex-president, then this is news. And even then, arguably.
What did u do during Trump era?
Had to throw in that last line about Trump, eh?
BFD, every single person in the Trump White House had ties to Russia or an oil company.
….and this is where the difference between dems and republicans substantially compresses.
I do not care.
They work for money and women, just like other politicians.
OMG seriously every single one of Trump's administration had ties to multiple businesses. Give me a break. Why is this news? Trump made money on being president.
And your point? Oh, I get it. Trying to create a negative slant. After the last 4 years of the worst administration in modern history, you don’t have a chance.
In other news. Grass green. Also i’d prefer that than the russians or china like the cheeto.
A White House official said Sullivan is not participating in decisions directly affecting Microsoft, has not had any contact with the company and is consulting with NSC lawyers to remain in compliance with ethics requirements.
It’s better than ties to Russian oligarchs.
But more importantly, have any of them ever smoked the marijuana?
What ever came of the hunter Biden stuff?
Now do Trump.
And Former Guy embodied an entire crime syndicate. GTFO
Whatever.
Anyone with ties to corporations do not have the peoples best interests in mind.
I’m sure none of them lived in a vacuum. They’re bright people. Tech attracts bright people. Rest it, Rita.
I prefer that to ties with Bear Spray.
