Techology is a tool. It serves every corner of the political and ideological spectrum.

I am enchanted by the expression "a mere 9,000 lines of code."

Oh fracking please.

When the likes of Zuck, Dorsey and Schmidt evidently censored everybody and everything on behalf of radical left wing ideology and radical left wing elites everybody was dead silent, but now the likes of Zuck, Musk and Pichai are licking the boots of Trump to ensure that they financially, and their companies, survive this presidency we are heading into "technofascism" and Silicon Valley suddenly has rightwing roots?

Give me a fracking break.

And before you come with Peter Thiel: Alex Karp, on behalf of Palantir -- which has Thiel on the board, supported Kamala Harris. ALSO EVIDENTLY.

If anything, the top of SV consists out of unprincipled, spineless opportunists.
