This isn't really a hard list to compile.

* Paul Graham

* Mark Zuckerberg

* The Ghost of Elon Musk before he fell down the alt right pipeline and now is no longer liberal-tarian.

* Sundar Pichai

* Jeff Bezos

* Sam Altman

* Jensen Huang

* Tim Cook

A who's who of people who felt their businesses were being threatened by the Biden administration with a starry-eyed view of how this next round might benefit them and being in denial of the crazy.

> have they done or said to make you believe that they support this?

Most of those people are just cowardly bending to corruption, which is not the same thing as what was originally asked for.

Many of those probably wanted Biden to win but don't want to antagonize Trump after he won. If I had to guess there at least Sundar and Bezos didn't want Trump to win

Elon and his loud hangers-on in the VC community have made SV look a lot more MAGA than it is

Trying to psychoanalyze billionaires from afar is a losing game.

If we're going to judge these folks, judge them by their words and actions.

Most of them didn't have words one way or another during the campaign, the post I replied was suggesting they got what they want, I guess that was some psychoanalysis too

> we resoundingly voted for this— it's as much of a mandate you're likely to ever get in the US

Trump received a minority of the popular vote. The 1.5% margin was slim compared to recent elections even.
