Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, announced a feeling of being "politically homeless" on July 4th, reflecting a shift among Silicon Valley elites toward the political right. His comments criticize the Democratic Party for moving away from its historical focus on innovation and entrepreneurship. Altman advocates for "techno-capitalism," emphasizing wealth creation alongside broader prosperity through innovation. This stance is indicative of a larger political realignment in Silicon Valley, where once-reliable Democratic allies are distancing themselves due to regulatory scrutiny under the Biden administration.
"I’m not big on identities, but I am extremely proud to be American. This is true every day, but especially today—I firmly believe this is the greatest country ever on Earth. The American miracle stands alone in world history."
Altman's comments reflect a broader trend in Silicon Valley where tech leaders express disillusionment with the Democratic Party due to its perceived distance from innovation and entrepreneurship.
