A red tidal wave may be heading for Big Tech executives and unlikely allies, but there are still jetties in the way.
This week, Fox Business reported, "president of PayPal David Marcus announced he has switched political parties and endorsed Donald Trump via X, the site formerly known as Twitter.
The tech entrepreneur, who recently headed up Messenger at Meta, announced he was "crossing the Rubicon and backing the Republican Party" as well as the campaign of former President Trump."
On Friday, President Trump's interview with Maria Bartiromo on Mornings with Maria went viral, wherein Trump said Meta head Mark Zuckerberg called him after the assassination attempt to let him know that he isn’t supporting Democrats.
According to Trump, Zuckerberg apologized for Meta suppressing the now famous photos of him following the assassination attempt, wherein the President held up his fist and said, "Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Despite Zuckerberg's claims of apology and allegedly stating he will not be voting for Democrats, the censorship issues on Facebook and Instagram, both owned by Meta, still persist.
On July 12, Meta announced that it had removed any previously imposed penalties and restrictions on Trump’s social media accounts.
At the same time, conservative users as recent as August 2, still reported suspensions on Instagram.
The censorship developments and interpersonal movements within Big Tech come with less than 100 days until the U.S. Presidential election.
