Sure, some companies are but how many? How vitriolic is the backlash when certain firms try to work with the DOD vs. China (thinking about Project Maven, ICE contracts, etc. when many companies work with a regime perpetuating an actual genocide). His personal political views aside, I think Silicon Valley as a whole until recently was not enthusiastic about working with government and especially not the DOD (in no small part this was gov's fault- insane procurement processes and sales cycle meant they were an awful customer) but hopefully they're getting their shit together with the creation of things like DIU, Afwerx, Navalx, etc. and the private sector is realizing how important it is to work with a government that has democratic values and is trying to uphold those globally instead of working with say China who helps to prop up Russia while they ravage Ukraine.
