Listen to this full episode of The New Abnormal on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon and Stitcher.
Mega-rich tech titans like Marc Andreessen, Ben Horowitz, David Sacks, and Elon Musk are just a handful of the tech bros publicly supporting Donald Trump in 2024. And while the reason for their support may seem obvious—lower taxes—there’s more to it than just simple cash flow.
“It’s about the fact that all of these guys have too much of it [money] and are bored and don’t believe in anything and don’t care about anything and don’t have any friends,” Ed Zitron, CEO of EZPR and the host of the tech podcast Better Offline, explains on this week’s episode of The New Abnormal.
