Tech Bro in the White House? Silicon Valley Conservatives Cheer for J.D. Vance
J.D. Vance, the author of “Hillbilly Elegy” and a U.S. Senator representing Ohio, has been chosen as Donald Trump’s running mate. This move has excited Silicon Valley conservatives, who see Vance as a potential bridge between Trump’s policies and tech donors.
Vance’s background as a Yale Law graduate and his involvement in the tech industry, particularly his significant Bitcoin holdings, have piqued the interest of tech insiders. His stance on regulating major tech companies is a key talking point, as it suggests a nuanced understanding of the industry.
While Silicon Valley conservatives remain a minority, Vance’s candidacy has reignited discussions about the intersection of technology, politics, and the future of regulation. It remains to be seen what impact Vance’s presence on the ticket will have on the tech industry.
