Predictably, Oculus developers are now saying nothing but Luckey's resignation will satisfy them: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/09/some-developers-dropping-oculus-support-to-protest-founders-politics/ http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/09/some-developers-droppi... Which is tantamount to saying they don't want Trump supporters to be allowed to work in high ranking positions anywhere (since neither Oculus the company nor the tech industry in general is special in any relevant way). If such demands are regularly complied with, I imagine the maximum rank or salary allowed to politically-incorrect individuals will be lowered over time.

There's another possibility. Occupational bifurcation. A high number of programmers and geeks have politically radical or reactionary beliefs, often taking positions atypical of the party mainstream. They also have some forms of unique politics non-extant in the general population. Politically right wing individuals don't make the same kinds of choices as left wing ones. This also applies to occupational niches. So we could wind up with SV corporations dominated by leftists, and others by rightists. The left would own things like social and healthcare, the right would own finance and the murderbot factories. I leave the conclusion as an exercise for the reader. ;-)
