Silicon Valley leaders have reportedly become more confident in their support for President-elect Donald Trump due to endorsements from influential figures like Elon Musk.
Billionaire Peter Thiel, speaking on Bari Weiss's "Honestly" podcast, mentioned that the support from these influential individuals has made it easier for others in the tech industry to express their backing.
Notable tech entrepreneurs such as Marc Andreessen, Ben Horowitz, and David Sacks have joined the ranks of those supporting Trump.
Additionally, Doug Leone and Shaun Maguire, partners at Sequoia Capital, along with Joe Lonsdale, co-founder of Palantir Technologies, and Chamath Palihapitiya, CEO of Social Capital, have also shown their support.
