The rich men of SV belong to a narrow generation cohort, genX and early millenials. They were overgrown kids in 2006 and had no political ambitions. In 2016 they still didn't so they voted against the grain. in 2026 they are over 40 and willing to bend to whatever makes the rest of their life easier.

In reality it's a bunch of children that were "socialists in their teens , conservatives as adults" (but because socialism was bad taste their only choice was libertarianism). They are still not very old, not very evil. They have some way to go. Musk is 52, Thiel is 58, Zuck is 41. Wait to see what happens after 65... the culture of technologists will take a very dark turn

It seems like a bold assumption these guys will still be in the same roles at 65.
