Knowing these guys a bit, I’ll slightly disagree. They were always regressive, and don’t actually have enough fluency to have a genuine political POV. This is why bullshit narratives that flatter them, like Yarvin-style neoreaction, could easily sway them. Then, rising worker power radicalized them.

Lots of discussion of this. Still think the best explanation for tech lord rightward lurch on culture war (trans rights, immigration, crime, etc.) is middle-aged white guy syndrome. They aged into the Trumpiest demographic. Income doesn’t explain it. Millionaires, $200K+ earners went for Harris.

I’ve only met one tech billionaire in person and it was astounding how he managed to be both incredibly charismatic and sharp witted in person yet profoundly dumb and wrong about almost everything
