Summary

Tech leaders who once backed Trump are fed up as his second term descends into chaos.

Venture capitalists and startup founders complain about erratic policies and feel burned by crypto bro schemes like $Trump coin, which tanked after launch.

Appointing David Sacks as “crypto czar” only fueled suspicions of cronyism, while proposed defense budget cuts leave companies like Anduril and Palantir reeling.

Even billionaire allies like Jeff Bezos are souring as tariffs and economic uncertainty hit their bottom line. “Everyone is annoyed,” says one disillusioned founder.

      Not really, either way the Broligarchs own the government. We might make them buy slightly less shitty politicians, but that doesn’t count for much.

      we will agree with them, when they start funding opposition to all GOP,a nd stop thier donations to them. if they think they can virtue signal and double-dip by funding both sides, they arnt really ready for a change.
