Tech Titans and the 2024 US Election: Who’s Backing Whom?
As the 2024 US election approaches, tech executives are positioning themselves in polarizing ways. Elon Musk is a notable supporter of Donald Trump, contributing over $75 million to his campaign. In contrast, Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings has donated $7 million to Kamala Harris’s electoral efforts, prompting subscriber cancellations. Jeff Bezos’s Washington Post will not endorse a candidate this year, raising eyebrows amid accusations of potential favoritism toward Trump. Meanwhile, Apple CEO Tim Cook and Google head Sundar Pichai are rumored to have reached out to Trump, signaling the importance of maintaining connections regardless of the election outcome.
