Why Tech Bros Are Turning Trump: Silicon Valley Guru
During an interview on the latest episode of The Daily Beast Podcast, Jessica Lessin offered an insider’s take on several of Silicon Valley’s most colorful characters. Lessin, founder and CEO of the business and technology news site The Information, joined hosts Joanna Coles and Samantha Bee for a conversation on the state of tech—and tech bros.
“It’s revenge of the nerds again,” Lessin said. “I say revenge of the nerds, you know, with some fondness because nerds can be charming too… And I think they certainly have a little more swagger in the Valley these days.”
Addressing Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg’s newfound love of streetwear, Lessin diplomatically described the makeover as “Mark unleashed.”
