Then let's assume the people in charge want Trump back in office. Wouldn't it just make more sense to make political contributions to him and others sympathetic to his platform? That carries less reputational risk than investing in a known to fail platform.

Plus it's worth mentioning that those are assets under management ; they have to answer to their investors for every time they allocate. They can't just freely swing that around like most people think

They already make contributions that doesn't stop them from giving money in other dark ways like this as well. Just like they give money to pacs, as well as the candidates directly as well as a million other ways to keep the real amount given hard to track.

Assets under management come with management fees they can do whatever the fuck they want with that money. When they have trillions under management the fees are a lot. The more shady shit they do the more money they make for clients the more money they get in fees. Look up 2 and 20.
