The tech industry overwhelmingly voted against Trump. Pick a different boogeyman
- mittensc 1y agowho did most of the tech billionaires sponsor?

- derektank 1y agoMost tech billionaires didn't endorse anyone because the election was close and they wanted to avoid scrutiny by either party. A few high profile tech billionaires endorsed Donald Trump
- sour-taste 1y agoThe workers did, the people with money welcomed him with open arms hoping for less regulation and big contracts. Look in the row behind trump during his inauguration if you need proof.
- kortilla 1y agothey only welcomed him after he won in a big ring kissing competition (apart from Musk and a famous VC or two of course)
- watwut 1y agoSomehow, they did not welcomed previous democratic president. And somehow, I doubt they would welcome Harris the same way. Like common, they were eager and happy to kiss the ring and support him.
- ivewonyoung 1y ago> Somehow, they did not welcomed previous democratic president They did, but such information is not brought up due to political bias here. For example, how many people here know that Uber donated $1 million(the max amount possible) to Biden's inauguration? Google, Amazon and Microsoft donated too.
- watwut 1y agoCheck the people on the inauguration itself. The actual public celebrating from leaders went toward Trump. Plus multiple prominent tech leaders are behind the project 2025 itself and really pushing Trump politics. Oh, and Musk was right there on the stage and even in government. Google and Microsoft and Uber were paying both parties, that part is right.
