"I don't believe you would have a Trump phenomenon without the excesses of Silicon Valley," Karp told The New York Times in a wide-ranging interview published on Saturday. Trump's ascendance, Karp said, has been driven by out-of-touch tech moguls 'who support policies where they don't have to absorb the cost at all.' Karp adds that these tech leaders have created divisiveness through their platforms, which caused a disconnect with the average American.
"I don't even know how you explain to the average American that you've become a multibillionaire and you won't supply your product to the DOD," Karp told The Times. He expresses concern over tech moguls who profit immensely while avoiding responsibility for providing critical services, describing it as 'jarringly corrosive' and noting the harmful socio-political impact of their actions.
Silicon Valley's elite, Cuban said, wants to act as a pseudo board of directors to Trump, who they are envisioning as 'CEO of the United States of America.' This observation underscores the influence tech titans might have over political leadership and policy-making, positioning themselves as key players in shaping the direction of American governance.
