To me this shows that The Daily Wire is not simply grifters grifting for the money. If it was just about scamming their fans for money, they'd see which way the wind was blowing and shut up about this. Instead they're carrying water for the most unsympathetic billionaires at the cost of angering their fans.
The Daily Wire since inception has been first and foremost about representing the interests of capital, even over their own personal financial interests. They know who made the Daily Wire possible, and it wasn't chuds, it was fossil fuel billionaires.
I doubt most of their fans will understand this, though.
