The political stance in the American technology industry has further分化, with a clear political rift appearing between the leadership elites and ordinary employees in Silicon Valley. A part of the high-level figures in Silicon Valley have begun to lean towards the right-wing, but many ordinary tech professionals still lean towards the liberal camp, becoming increasingly anxious and disappointed. Their emotions form a stark contrast with those tech leaders who are increasingly identifying with conservative populism. The most typical examples include Musk, as well as investor David Sacks and venture capitalist Marc Andreesen. Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg also attended Trump's presidential inauguration. After being threatened by Trump to be "thrown in jail" last summer, Zuckerberg began praising Trump. He later donated $1 million to Trump's inaugural fund and co-hosted the inauguration celebration for Republican billionaire donors. However, despite this, Silicon Valley as a whole is still tilting further towards the Democratic Party.
