During a recent dispute between Trump and Musk, notable Silicon Valley supporters like Chamath Palihapitiya and Jason Calacanis largely stayed quiet, redirecting attention to other topics. While traditional backers expressed mixed reactions, Adam Kovacevich highlighted that most in the tech industry do not align closely with either side. He noted the prevailing concerns are tariffs rather than individual political allegiances, indicating a fragmented sentiment among tech leaders despite some appreciation for Trump's favorable actions on crypto and AI regulation.
Some might appreciate what Trump has done, calling off SEC lawsuits against crypto and calling off the Biden order on AI, but at the same time there's still a lot of angst about tariffs.
There are no true friends in politics—only mutual interests.
China just won.
I don't want to overstate the rupture, but the vast majority of people in the tech industry aren't aligned with anybody right now.
