Major Silicon Valley investors hailed Donald Trump¡¯s choice of Ohio senator and former venture capitalist J.D. Vance as his running mate, a move that puts the technology industry closer to center stage in Washington if the former president takes the White House in November¡¯s presidential election.
Elon Musk called the decision a ¡°great choice¡± and said the lineup ¡°resounds with victory¡± on X, the social platform he owns. David Sacks, an investor and Trump supporter scheduled to speak at the GOP convention on Monday night, called Vance an ¡°American patriot¡± in a post.
And at Founders Fund, a venture capital firm backed by billionaire Peter Thiel, partner Delian Asparouhov summed up the mood of many in his orbit, posting: ¡°IT¡¯S JD VANCE. WE HAVE A FORMER TECH VC IN THE WHITE HOUSE. GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH BABY.¡±
