It's...<i>interesting.</i><p>Liberals are generally supportive of Big Tech, and the so-called MAGA (or right-wing) aren't. We've seen Elon Musk dig deep into GOP support and Tesla now has two quarters of year-over-year sales declines. In this age of such polarizing politics in the US, is it wise for a company or their founders to make such endorsements - especially when it's out of step with the majority of their market and the people supporting them?<p>This happens both ways, too. We saw what happened to Bud Light when they ran a pride campaign - from which they're still recovering. Tractor Supply Company is currently reeling from their "woke" campaign. Both companies have right-wing majority markets and they lost significant sales and market share.<p>In light of this - why make such endorsements?<p>If anything, compare and contrast policies - and be specific. No hand-waving. Then regardless of who becomes president they understand your business concerns without you risking alienating a significant portion of your customer base.
