“The social cost of supporting Trump isn’t as great as it was,” Helberg said of Silicon Valley society, many members of which see that “Trump was right on a lot of make-or-break issues for America.”
Tech adviser Jacob Helberg, who has donated large sums to Democrats, has joined a wave of big money donors rejecting President Joe Biden and supporting former president Donald Trump in 2024.
Helberg has donated $1 million to Trump’s re-election effort, making the tech adviser one of the largest financial backers of Trump’s bid to win back the White House in November. Just four years ago, Helberg was using his money and influence to support Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s doomed campaign for president, according to The Washington Post.
Helberg is one of a cadre of high-powered Silicon Valley businessmen who have warmed to Trump recently. more
Money talks.
Empty wallets and falling stocks values the loudest.
this is a bullshit scam. they know trump is going to win so they are trying to Buy” him off so he doesn’t come after them after he wins. hang all of these leftist d bags by their balls in times square and beat them with wiffle ball bats.
“wiffle ball bats” ???
Mark, we gonna have to work on your perception skeels. 🤣
There are too many avenues of critique on this situation to cover. Helberg’s evolution on America’s stance toward China and the CCP’s exploitive trade and business practices is very hard to grasp, given where he started out and whose politics he championed to this point. I can’t fathom how he built his career on the basis of cold, hard, factual information. Silicon Valley is sounding more like the cultural milieu found in Hollywood or on the average college campus, where intersectionality is Lingua Franca.
But, sure, we’ll take his money.
From the guy’s tepid praise of Trump, it’s killing this guy to admit what a fool he’s been.
My wife spent the week end with her high school girl friends this week end 8 of them. 5 still live there and are off the charts libtard. They were staying in the Willamette Valley about 150 miles south of Portland. And the drive back to the airport someone mentioned what a shame it is that Portland has been destroyed. The head libtard says, “Well you can thank the proud boys for that”. That’s when my Irish Lass lost it. After a week end of subtle digs it was bound to happen.
AA is exactly right. The Silicon valley has historically been ultra conservative. It didn’t turn libtard until the off shoring craze.
Another interesting thing. I think most of us always assumed these idiots were getting their indoctrination through CNN, MSNBC, etc.
Apparently any self respecting Bay Area Libtard gets their news from the BBC.
Also, the three women of the club that are Conservative have something in common. Their husbands are business owners. So regarding the guy in the article. You’d have to be one dumb mofo to think Libtard Socialist policies are going to help your bottom line. And I guess he’s just proven that to himself.
I have a good friend, mega multi-millionaire, who’s family are from the Silicon Valley. HE lives in Morgan Hill. His family were in the agriculture and construction business and some worked for the government prior to the tech assholes moving in. They brought their fucked up attitudes with them and infused every aspect of life there with their leftist bullshit ideology. He has absolutely nothing good to say about any of them. He got filthy rich off the pricks, as did many in his family but absolutely cannot stand them. He said that they are absolutely rotten to the absolute core.
Brad, I’m surprised the 5 libs think Portland has been ruined. I would have guessed they like it just the way it is.

Every year at the end of their little visit one of the Libtard Gals say, we should get our husbands together too. And every year there’s three voices sayen, Oh God no.
Funny thing is, I knew most of them. Never thought they’d turn out like this.
You watch as the rat-infested democrat party starts to experience a massive “abandon ship” and then the bastards will expect us to throw them a life preserver. FUC* THEM!!!!
