Talk about being disconnected.<p>Good example of what happens when a random set of the tech elite sit amongst themselves and talk about their problems.<p>The average Trump supporter is afraid about their jobs&#x2F;healthcare&#x2F;housing being lost thanks to factory shutdowns and outsourcing. Trump exploits those fears.<p>And look how the &quot;tech leaders&quot; respond. Instead of addressing the fears of those people they want to talk about their own fears.<p>That is not leadership. Its how we end up with the likes of Trump.

So a bunch of ceo&#x27;s, co-founders, and elite types are against trump. This plays exactly into his hands.

It&#x27;s what these leaders are hiding that&#x27;s more worrying to me. I think they made deals with the govt that would give away users privacy and are worried what if it falls into wrong hands.

Trump is what the US needs (or deserves if you think he&#x27;ll be bad). [EDIT] I am for more concerned about what these people want for society. I see several from facebook, twitter, and one from reddit. [EDIT2] What more is that many of these company names read like venture capitalists and hedge funds.
