Donald Trump is gaining traction with elite Silicon Valley investors, who have money to spend in exchange for an ear to the White House.
Silicon Valley has always been a place for unconventional thinkers with big ideas, but in 2024, that includes former president and convicted felon Donald Trump . Two influential tech investors and hosts of the All-In Podcast, David Sacks and Chamath Palihapitiya , recently announced they were hosting a fundraiser for Trump on Thursday. They join other tech leaders, including Elon Musk , who have signaled support for Trump and a growing disdain for President Biden .
The Conservative Radicalization of Tech Just hours after the former President was found guilty on 34 counts in his hush money trial, Sequoia partner Shaun Maguire announced on X he was donating $300,000 to Trump. “The timing isn’t a coincidence,” he tweeted. Maguire wrote a lengthy post detailing his “radicalization towards the center” thanks to the Biden administration’s foreign policy and other issues.
