nominee former President Donald Trump speaks after being declared the winner during an election night watch party at the Palm Beach County Convention Center in West Palm Beach, Florida in the early hours of Wednesday, Nov. 06, 2024. Albeit to varying degrees, most of the major players in Silicon Valley have thrown their support behind President-elect Trump. Yet big tech benefits from big data, big markets, and big government support. The sector’s playbook is inherently global – even “globalist.
Susie Wiles, who will serve as Trump’s Chief of Staff, served as co-chair of Mercury Public Affairs until she started working for his 2024 campaign. Mercury is a lobbying firm with clients in industries like big tobacco, junk food, andWiles’ former employer $5.5 million since 2015, according to Department of Justice filings. Hikvision is known for supplying surveillance tech to authorities in Xinjiang province, who have used it to target the Uighur ethnic minority.
In the long term, it may prove difficult to conceal the flagrant incongruity between MAGA’s message of isolationism and the “globalist” business dealings that his high-level staff embody. But Musk is not the only far-right ultra-wealthy tech personality to throw his weight behind Trump. Peter Thiel, the conservative founder of defense tech company, has supported Trump since the start. The self-interest behind his anti regulatory impulses is evident. Silicon Valley venture capitalists Mark Andreessen and Ben Horowitz each donated $2.5 million to Trump.
