Overview
- On The Daily Beast Podcast, the NYU Stern professor called Trump a “coin‑operated president” and unveiled a campaign urging consumers to cancel subscriptions.
- He targets subscription‑driven platforms including Amazon, Apple, Meta, OpenAI and X, and flags a “Blast Zone” of firms tied to ICE such as AT&T, FedEx and Comcast.
- Galloway says tech companies are highly sensitive to subscriber growth and contends the administration tends to reverse course when markets fall.
- He suggests even a modest hit to growth—or discomfort for executives like Sam Altman, Andy Jassy and Tim Cook—could spur corporate pushback on Trump‑aligned policies.
- In a newer interview, he says he has spoken with about 20% of the CEOs on his list and describes leaders as hesitant to go first due to fear of retaliation and pursuit of favorable treatment.
