A wave of Silicon Valley leaders has publicly lined up behind Donald Trump since Saturday’s assassination attempt — including some who had previously denounced the former president or supported his rivals — cementing a political shift in the tech world years in the making.
In recent months, many tech elites quietly latched onto Trump, the perceived front-runner, drawn by Trump’s promises of industry-friendly policies on cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence and driven away from President Biden by scrutiny of the sector they see as kneecapping innovation.
This is a lot like war profiteering. You understand all the harm caused by war but continued profits are more important. Believing you'll be safe from his wrath by supporting him now is a fools errand.
Remember dictators eventually turn on their supporter's.
