Seeing a sudden surge in interest in the "Tech Right" as they're being dubbed. Often the focus is on business motivations like tax breaks but I think there's more to it. The narrative that silicon Valley is a bunch of tech hippies was well sown early on, particularly by Stewart Brand and his ilk but throughout that period and prior, the intersection between tech and authoritative politics that favours systems over people is well established.

It’s the rich, trust fund babies in the middle management spots that failed through business school. They are Musk-derivative type people that have been ruining the gaming industry, really have nothing to do with tech. Much more the MBA stains.
