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.

    It’s like they learned nothing from the first time he was president.

      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!
