The median tech industry employee is left of the US center. In fact, I’d be willing to bet that even the median white cis het male tech worker is left of the US center.

Almost all of my IRL white cishet guy friends are tech workers, and sure, okay, a lot of that is proximity, but the odds really do seem better

Of the one I’ve known, I’d be surprised if 20% were republicans And to be fair you could get that entirely by knowing it’s a well educated, almost entirely urban group that disproportionately lives in California and other blue states

The “less controversial” tech billionaires seem to be hiding then. Not one of them brave enough to say “I’ve got a billion dollars and I don’t hate women, trans people and immigrants.”

They're not hiding, the press just doesn't care to report on their behavior because it's not click-worthy.

Like Reid Hoffman and Elon Musk feud over politics a lot but it just doesn't make waves bsky.app/profile/ens0...

I miss the old hippies of silicon Valley.

I mean you dont tbh because those guys are all right wingers now

Reid Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn just gave a PAC $10M to try to get James Talarico elected. Eric Schmidt (big Google guy) and Reed Hastings (Netflix co-founder) are constantly bankrolling Democrats. But they don't generate the eye-grabbing headlines of the Musks and Altmans of the world.

An old buddy from high school is Hoffman’s political consultant.

That's awesome!

Also even Altmans open secret with the exception of the major donation is just progressive. It is his coboard who is a actual trumpstan.
