Legendary venture capitalist Michael Moritz criticized the tech industry figures who support Donald Trump, calling it a "big mistake." In a Financial Times opinion piece, Moritz questioned why intelligent and successful individuals would overlook Trump's flaws, including his recent conviction on 34 felony counts. While notable figures like Marc Andreessen, Ben Horowitz, and Elon Musk back Trump, Moritz believes Trump will not succeed in Silicon Valley. Moritz, a known Democratic supporter, highlighted the risks of powerful individuals supporting authoritarian leaders and warned against underestimating Trump's intentions.
