Wall of Shame
A comprehensive list of the companies, brands and oligarchs destroying America
Brian Niccol thinks life isn’t fair. The new-ish CEO of Starbucks who commutes daily on a private jet made $96 million in his first four months on the job. Niccols went on a PR tour to whine about boycotts impacting Starbucks’ bottom line. In case you missed it, many consumers have been avoiding the once-popular coffee brand because of its support of Israel and its union-busting activities.
Welcome to the age of conscientious consumerism. We average Americans have two sources of power: our spending and our labor. Withholding both is catastrophic for corporations and the oligarchs who back them. Without us, they are nothing.
With a fascist criminal in the White House and a billionaire narcissist calling the shots, now is the time to use our power. Here’s a comprehensive list of companies and brands that have bent the knee to Trump and emboldened his cruelty with their financial support:
Everything Musk: Tesla, X, Starlink, SpaceX, The Boring Company, Neuralink
Musk is a malignant, metastasizing tumor on democracy. What do we do with cancer? Whatever it takes. Cut it out, irradiate it and and blast it with chemo. We consumers are the aggressive treatment for Musk, and we have to deprive him of the very things he craves: power and money. That means we should punish any brand or company that partners with the South African Nazi.
If you have a Tesla, get rid of it. If you own Tesla stock, sell it. If you’re a Starlink customer and have an alternative, use it. If you are in a position to decide on vendors for your employer or business, don’t award business to Tesla, Starlink, SpaceX, X, The Boring Company or Neuralink.
Delete your X account. I know many people have kept their accounts to stay up to date on what the Nazi contingent is doing. You need to recognize that Musk is monetizing your attention and his clout in the White House. Business Insider claims advertisers, once concerned with the hate espoused on the platform, are returning to the platform. According to Ad Age, Comcast, IBM, Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Lionsgate Entertainment have resumed advertising on President Elon’s hate forum.
Interesting note: earlier this month, X settled with Trump for $10 million over Twitter banning his account following the January 6th Capitol insurrection. If that seems like a straight-up bribe, that’s because it is.
If citizens want to know what DOGE is doing, they have to have an X account. This is a massive conflict of interest and one that is serving Apartheid Clyde well. When Musk purchased then-Twitter, he paid $44 billion for the platform. Most on Wall Street agree he over-paid for the asset. He also took on $13 billion in debt when he bought the platform. Why? Because billionaires don’t want to spend their own money when they can so easily spend someone else’s. In this case, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Barclays, Mitsubishi and others lent Musk the money.
Until very recently, that debt was known as the worst buyout for banks since the 2008 financial crisis because the acquisition was WAY overvalued. Given Musk’s new role as President of the United States and him using X as the only official communication channel for the federal government, X’s debt is now worth par — meaning the company isn’t worth less than he paid for it.
Funny how rigging the system works, huh?
Everything Zuck: Meta - Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, Threads
Mark Zuckerberg is a spineless bot, a Zionist and a narc to the highest bidder. We all saw his flip-flop on content moderation for what it is: taking a knee to curry favor with Trump. He gave $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. Zuck’s platforms have long been a disseminator for Israeli propaganda, and he gave data from WhatsApp to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to target innocent Palestinian civilians for assassination.
Amazon-Whole Foods-The Washington Post
Jeff Bezos was front and center at the inauguration. He donated $1 million for the event and greenlit a documentary on Melania Trump’s life, gifting her with $40 million to seal the deal. In any other country that would be called what it is: a bribe.
As the owner of The Washington Post, Bezos refused to let his editorial board endorse Kamala Harris, and the paper just quashed a Fire Elon Musk ad.
If that’s not enough for you, the company is a known union buster and treats its employees (especially the ones who work in its warehouses) inhumanely. They’ve also been known to sell items made in overseas sweatshops and have a massive problem with counterfeit goods.
Abbott Laboratories
Abbot gave $500,000 to Trump’s inauguration fund. Their consumer products include Pedialyte, Glucerna, Ensure and Similac.
ABC
The broadcaster gave Trump a $16 million settlement in a libel suit that was really just a knee bend and bribe rolled into one.
AirBnB
Musk just announced that his billionaire buddy Joe Gebbia will be joining him at DOGE. Gebbia is the co-founder of AirBnB. Even before Gebbia’s foray into the federal government, AirBnB has been on many people’s boycott list. The company has long had rentals in occupied Palestine.
AT&T
AT&T gave $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.
Bayer
Bayer contributed $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. Their consumer brands include Afrin, Aleve, Alka-Seltzer, Bayer Aspirin, Claritin, Midol, Miralax and One A Day.
British American Tobacco (BAT)
BAT donated $10 million to Donald Trump. The company’s products include Camel, Natural American Spirit, Newport, Kent, Lucky Strike, Pall Mall, Grizzly, Glo, Velo and Vuse.
CBS/Paramount
Watch this space. Trump has sued CBS for $20 billion, claiming the network deceptively edited a 60 Minutes episode to benefit former Vice President Kamala Harris. CBS is reportedly leaning towards settling. Just another day in the Trump bribery game.
Chevron
Chevron donated $2 million to Trump.
Coca-Cola
Where to begin? The company made a special commemorative bottle for Trump’s inauguration and donated $250,000. They also called ICE on their own employees. If that’s no enough, they’re a long-time beneficiary of prison labor, and they have operated plants in occupied Palestine. Brands include Fanta, Fairlife, Gold Peak Tea, Dasani, Fresca, Mello Yello, Minute Maid, Capri Sun, Topo Chico, Sprite, Costa Coffee and Honest Tea.
Comcast
Comcast gave $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.
Exxon Mobil
Long on the wrong side of humanity and the climate, Exxon Mobile gave $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.
Home Depot
Home Depot’s late co-founder Bernie Marcus donated $2.7 million to Donald Trump. The company has its own PAC which mainly contributes to Republicans - 62% per Goods Unite Us.
Instacart
Instacart contributed $100,000 to Trump’s inauguration.
Jimmy John’s
Founder Jimmy Liautaud contributed $3.1 million to Trump.
Johnson & Johnson
The pharmaceutical and consumer products giant have $1 million to Trump. Additionally, Johnson & Johnson heir and owner of the NY Jets Robert “Woody” Johnson contributed an additional $2.7 million. Major Johnson & Johnson consumer brands include Bandaid, Listerine, Neutrogena, Aveeno, Acuvue, Tylenol and Splenda.
Open AI
Open AI, parent company of ChatGPT, gave $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. You might have noticed their founder and CEO Sam Altman sitting with the rest of the billionaires at the main event. If that isn’t enough to have disdain for Altman, you should know that his sister is suing him for regularly sexually abusing her from 1997 and 2006. Use DeepSeek instead.
Paypal-Venmo
Paypal gave $250,000 to Trump. It’s also important to remember the company has a strong thread to Peter Thiel and Elon Musk — known as part of the Paypal Mafia. These pro-apartheid, fascist bros have been wreaking havoc on America since they arrived here.
Uber
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi is a real peach. He personally gave $1 million to Trump’s inauguration personally plus another million from Uber. If that’s not enough, the company has long been anti-worker and is renowned for skirting local laws and regulations.
Uline
Uline is a private company that sells shipping, packaging, and industrial supplies. The company is owned by Liz and Richard Uihlein, Republican mega-donors. The pair donated $10 million to Trump’s campaign.
Target
First, the company backed away from the LGBTQ+ community. Then, the retailer bent the knee to Trump by backing away from DEI.
TD Ameritrade
Founder J. Joe Ricketts contributed $2 million to Trump.
T-Mobile
T-Mobile has partnered with Musk’s Starlink to provide satellite cellular service.
United Airlines
United Airlines has a deal with Starlink to equip its entire fleet with Starlink and offer the service to passengers for free.
Verizon
Verizon contributed $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.
Walmart-Sam’s Club
Although Walmart didn’t specifically give to Trump, a few of the Walton heirs made up for it with their generous donations to conservative causes. Rob Walton gave $17 million to super PACs and other outside groups. His sister-in-law, Lynne Walton, who is married to Jim Walton, gave almost $12.5 million to primarily conservative causes and candidates.
Wynn Resorts
Founder Steve Wynn contributed $1.1 million to Trump. Wynn Resorts’ US properties include Wynn Las Vegas, Encore Las Vegas and Encore Boston Harbor.
In solidarity. ✊🏼❤️
Thank you for this list. It's so overwhelming. Almost everywhere we spend money is horrible. On top of that, we're Airbnb hosts; it's how we pay our mortgage :( I used to try to shop mostly locally, and then it turned out that several of our farmers were Nazis. Our farmer's market was shut down because of them. It's back now, but I feel like I need to interview people before I buy their food :(
I'm using your list not only to shop, but to request account closures and data deletion too... Let's withhold our money AND our data from bad guys!
Thanks, Denise!
