Some of the noisy Trump’s supporters from the Silicon Valley remained mostly quietly during the Trump-Musk Flare-Up on Thursday or tried to pay attention to other topics, including sacks and chamath Palhapitiya, two technology industry veterans, who are also hosts of extremely popular Everything in Podcast, which in recent months contained genial interviews with Trump and some of his offices.

From Thursday afternoon, Palihapitaa published on X about Krypto, while Sacks shared the recent Up-to-date York Times on AI’s policy. But their hosts of podcasts, David Friedberg and Jason Calacanis, published something that looked like mysterious references to the drama.

“China has just won,” wrote Friedberg on social media. “There are no real friends in politics” – only common interests, “said Calacanis in a separate message. Then a meme depicting musk as rapper Kendrick Lamar, who was recently involved in a tense feud with another Drake musician.

“KAN” Everything in He believes political from the podcasts disappear from day to day – Dar Sleeper, former product manager Tesla, joked at X.

This is currently the biggest problem for technology.

A former democratic agent who is now working in a technology investment company, says that although the Trump-Musk fight will actually force some people to choose a site, it will not be a straightforward decision for many of them. “This is not in 2012.”

“The basic issue is that Elon was a gate for people passing from a traditionally democratic technology industry towards Trump and the Republican party. And now the question is: will Elon be a gate for the technology industry that will return to the left? – says the source.

Two sources that talked to Wired say that some investors and technologists may not be quickly accepted because they are disappointed with how he coped with Doge. “Many people bring great faith in the idea that Doge can shake the government,” says a former democratic agent, but in fact Washington is a different world than technology. “This is the least worst result for many, not the best result for a few.”

When the sun began to get in front of the White House on Thursday, Trump and Musk still traded Barbs and there is not much sign that their battle will end soon. In fact, this can be just the beginning. When the correct technology investor began.
