One of the things that worries me most about the next election is tech. The two biggest threats to tech companies right now are anti-trust and regulation (both of which they wholly need and deserve). Their business models rely on exploitation, and GenAI is basically just copyright infringement as a service.
They see Trump as an easy path to a world in which tech CEOs get to play kings. Not only is Trump pro-deregulation, but will likely also try to gut the DOJ and several other agencies out of spite for coming after him, and those agencies just so happen to be the ones that also handle antitrust.
I think Elon might have actually had a psychological breakdown and become completely untethered from reality, but the rest of the tech CEOs and founder suddenly putting their weight behind Trump is a very deliberate attempt to use him as a tool to weaken the federal government's ability to keep them in check.
