Inside the growing split between Silicon Valley and the Democratic Party, once allies, as leading presidential candidates express extreme worries about Big Tech
With help from Cristiano Lima … Julie Bort / Business Insider : WeWork founder Adam Neumann joked about changing the United States Constitution so he could run for president Tweets: Teddy Schleifer / @teddyschleifer : Guys, WeWork founder Adam Neumann floated running for president! http://nymag.com/... https://twitter.com/... David Carroll / @profcarroll : These new accounts of techbros trying to build Cambridge Analytica for the Democrats are beyond parody. http://nymag.com/... Nicholas Thompson / @nxthompson : We the People ... https://twitter.com/... Paul Marcum / @jpmarcum : There should be nothing more terrifying to Americans than the prospect of a marriage of the tech industry and today's GOP. The widening gap between tech and democrat leaders reported here should alarm us all. http://nymag.com/... Ellen Huet / @ellenhuet : i must say i did not wake up this morning expecting to read two separate accounts of Adam Neumann's quixotic presidential aspirations, but life is a wild ride http://nymag.com/... https://twitter.com/... Dave Nyczepir / @davenyczepir : “Technologists no longer unquestioningly assume the more liberal party actually shares their values, and Washington Democrats are no longer willing to be seen by tech billionaires as know-nothing functionaries who can be counted on to do their bidding.” http://nymag.com/... Gabriel Debenedetti / @gdebenedetti : also, this happened. http://nymag.com/... pic.twitter.com/xxmdY1mJDb Gabriel Debenedetti / @gdebenedetti : in the new issue of @nymag: A 21st Century Divorce. Three summers ago, a worker stood up to ask Mark Zuckerberg whether Facebook had a plan in case the public turned against it, like what had happened to the big banks a few years earlier... https://twitter.com/... @nymag : There were once few more reliable allies of Silicon Valley in national politics than the Democratic Party. Now, things couldn't look more different. @gdebenedetti reports http://nymag.com/... George Pearkes / @pearkes : Truth is stranger than Succession https://twitter.com/... Gabriel Debenedetti / @gdebenedetti : The question posed to Zuckerberg would've made sense to Warren, who, in private meetings on Capitol Hill as early as mid-2017, was explicitly comparing the country's tech leviathans to the pre-regulation giants of high finance http://nymag.com/... Gabriel Debenedetti / @gdebenedetti : “The only way for them to redeem themselves is to write big checks, which they're not doing.” http://nymag.com/... Jesse Felder / @jessefelder : ‘It reflects a more populist Democratic Party, which sees tech monopolies not as the swaggering future of corporate America but as a target for a revived antitrust movement.’ http://nymag.com/... Teddy Schleifer / @teddyschleifer : Beyond this nugget, this is a very thoughtful @gdebenedetti look at how the relationship between Silicon Valley and the Democratic Party ruptured. http://nymag.com/...
