From Wall Street to Silicon Valley, a growing number of billionaires, tech titans and venture capitalists are backing Donald Trump's campaign for president, among them Stephen Schwarzman, chairman of Blackstone, the world's largest private-equity fund.
It's important to recognize a disconnect in the business world - while dozens of billionaires are backing Trump, not one CEO of a Fortune 100 company has given money to Trump's campaign.
A major reason CEOs of major corporations have balked at backing Trump is they realize that many of their shareholders might grow enraged if they support an authoritarian-minded candidate.
Sonnenfeld noted that despite Elon Musk's endorsement of Trump and despite reports that he had pledged to donate $45m a month to Trump, Musk has vacillated.
