Generalizations like "the tech industry has a liberal bias" are so reductive that they aren't useful. One of the pitfalls in discussions about the overall politics of the tech industry is a lack of nuance. Another is a general inability to ask the important question "who has the power in this industry?" Is Elon Musk liberal? What about Paul Graham, Larry Ellison or Peter Thiel? There is an enormous difference in the politics of rank and file employees at most tech companies and the founders/executives/management. This is true of nearly every industry. If you think the biases of regular tech workers matter more than the biases of the management and leadership of these companies — or fail to make a distinction — then you will probably come to a different conclusion about the biases of the industry as a whole.
