If only it were that simple, Marc Andreessen's interview in the NY times put it best. The wealthy in tech were hurt by the anti corporate youth movement that resulted after the 2008 crash. They (the wealthy) didn't understand why so many employees were so against them, they then saw the Biden gov continuing that anti corporate stance as DEI and other initiatives to potentially control AI and crypto. The tech billionaires hitched their wagon to Trump as a way to 'survive' regulation and saw another opportunity to compete with each other through who had most sway over the most easily bought president since the teapot dome scandal.

That may be true for people like Andreessen, who just put their corporate interests above everything else without much ideological underpinning (which is already bad enough). But then you have people like Peter Thiel who literally believe that Tech companies should rule the world. Operations like DOGE attempt to dismantle government institutions so that more power is shifted towards Big Tech.
