Donald Trump is inducing a major political realignment

As recently as three election cycles ago, hardly anyone in America’s tech bubble voted for Republicans. And if they did, they were very quiet about it.

That’s no longer the case. Just last month, in a move that surely would have led to their cancelation as recently as 2018, two of Silicon Valley’s biggest entrepreneurs came out in support of Donald Trump for president.

What caused that? And is this a sign of more surprising endorsements to come? San Francisco-based engineer and tech CEO Amjad Masad is the perfect person to ask, and he joined today’s Tucker Carlson Show to talk Trump, DEI, Elon Musk buying Twitter, and more.

Amjad Masad tells Tucker:

“I think Elon buying Twitter and letting people talk and debate moved the culture to, I think, a more moderate place… It was net positive on the culture because it was so far left inside these companies… it was verging on insanity.”
