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.
They’re mad because he’s ruining their income, we’re mad because he’s ruining the country; we are not the same.
Fuck them.
There is no greater joy than when two of your enemies go to war against each other.

“Annoyed”
Oh fuck off.
Fuck this comment hits hard!
With people like Peter thiel running this god damned industry, who also bankrolled trump, I feel no sympathy!
Fuck em all! You got what you thought you wanted!
Ok techbros and billionaires, either Luigi him or stfu. You pieces of shit tanked America.
I had to laugh when I saw some dumbass posting some FB-level political magabrained copium about how gas prices are going down thanks to dumbass donvict.
And the amount of comments underneath it, thanking donvict for doing great things for America. The amount of absolute DELUSION out there, as well as the people that proudly slap that delusion up there on…checks notes…a site for building your network for your career for employers, co-workers, and potential clients/customers to see is mind-boggling.
I bet these same set of dumbasses will be all Pikachu-faced and talking about how they are being “censored” by Big Tech if they were to find out that people take a pass on hiring/doing business with a chucklefuck jagoff posting moronic political nonsense on a site for your career…they never seem to realize that free speech cuts both ways. They are free to express what idiots they are and others are free to disassociate with them because of it.
I’ve seen shit like that too. I’m convinced they are all bots since meta just gave up on stopping them.

I’ve said almost the exact thing no less than ten times in this thread, using way too many words.
🤘 Fuck yeah!
It’s like they learned nothing from the first time he was president.
They all banked the first time he was president. It’s all us regular people who got boned.
But they really really didn’t!
No, they learned plenty. Look up Peter thiel’s bullshit. They thought they could profit from dissolving our country. I’m fucking loving this personally. I hope they actually cancel social security. It will burn the entirety of the “Republican” party (using quotation marks because they are furthest thing from, like the “Democratic Republic of…”)
Let it all burn. This country voted for acceleration, so it deserves it!
“Oh no. I did his bidding. He was supposed to hurt other people, but not me. Now I hate that guy. Feel sorry for me.”
Things need to change, only because they’re negatively impacting me. If other people are affected, that’s on them.
If other people are affected, no they’re not. They just need to be tough like me.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to call in a favor for something that is affecting me.
Tech leaders who once backed Trump
Once, meaning, until about two months ago.
Yup, they got what they supported. May not be what they wanted, but after seeing Jack royally fuck HBO, I’m convinced rich people are just stupid and born into wealth. I have witnessed not one single rich person earn fucking shit!
I have witnessed not one single rich person earn fucking shit!
I mean there are a handful that created some kind of creative work that became wildly popular and their wealth is ultimately derived primarily from that creation that you could argue earned it. Like Notch or JK Rowling.
I agree with you, but you named the two of the shittiest people on earth.
You grossly underestimate just how shitty people can be. Which is wild given what’s going on in gestures wildly.
Yet somehow both are still pieces of shit just like the others.
I mean there is a difference between “earned their money rather than being born into it” and “has all the correct politics”.
Yeah. Can’t argue with that logic. But of all the available examples to choose from, why choose those two?
Specifically to have that conversation - there is no connection whatsoever between “earned their money” and “has views I agree with” or even “has non-harmful views.” At least Notch doesn’t do worse than occasionally tweet what he thinks.
The entire article reads like:
Bush:
There’s an old saying in Tennessee—I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, ‘Fool me once, shame on…shame on you.’ Fool me—you can’t get fooled again.
The spin I heard was that he started saying it and halfway through realized he was going to create a soundbite of him saying “shame on me” and instinctively knew it would be better to flub the line and “aww shucks” it than to give a soundbite of him shaming himself.
Yeah Bush had a lot of Boris Johnson energy.
They’re jangling their keys in front of the Democrats now to:
- hedge their bets in case of Trump unpopularity and a midterm loss and
- preclude any anti-corportist reform in that party after their blowout loss
All these unprincipled fucks naming their companies after things from LOTR belies their complete lack of understanding of Tolkien and his morality. He’d fucking hate them all.
Palantir is pretty spot-on. It spies on everyone, is a tool of evil, and once used you never know who’s watching and influencing you.
To be fair looking into these dudes I think they know that and like it.
I’d go a step further and say Tolkien would (banned by Reddit) these fuckers.
Fuck every one of these “tech bros” in the article.
"Venture capitalists and startup founders complain about erratic policies and feel burned by crypto bro schemes like $Trump coin, which tanked after launch. "
Lmao if you put money into TrumpCoin you deserve all your losses. Idiots.
I want the names of the people that are VCs and startup founders that were so fucking stupid as to “invest” in something like a memecoin.
Either you were/are in on the rugpull presidency or you aren’t. That coin was pure bullshit and at best, it’s just a way to launder money into donvict and his broligarchs pockets. If you aren’t on the inside of that scheme, you are the mark.
Fuk all them assholes
Annoyed? ANNOYED? OH POOR BABIES.
Must be nice to be “annoyed” by what is going on right now.
suspicions of cronyism
Are you fucking serious?
-
Support a corrupt and utterly idiotic wannabe dictator.
-
Make that suprised Pikachu face when the guy you support turns out to be an idiot.
-
Lose money because of the idiot.

The last half of that sentence isn’t much better either. My heart goes out to the poor weapons manufacturers with cut budgets.
