Why is Gavin Newsom giving tech tycoons burner phones?

FOX 5 KUSI – California governor sends ‘burner’ phones to tech CEOs by: Sergio Robles Mar 18, 2025 / 03:11 PM PDT The office of California Governor Gavin Newsom sent prepaid phones to dozens of technology CEOs in the state over the last several months in an attempt to spark more communication with business leaders. The prepaid phones were programmed to include contact information for Newsom and were sent to around 100 people. The information was first reported by POLITICO.

There’s no way to interpret this but that there’s some kind of corruption going on with burner phones between a government official and various business moguls.
