Tech companies will have it easy under Trump. Just like they did under Biden

Many of the worst developments coming down the pipeline in crypto and defense tech have been building for years now, thanks in part to the Biden administration.

Despite its incessant whining, our technology sector has had it easy under Joe Biden and will have it even easier under Donald Trump. The president-elect is backed by a swath of Silicon Valley billionaires, likely to enjoy full control of Congress, and eager to usher in a wave of deregulation that we’ve likely not seen for decades. Many of the worst developments coming down the pipeline have been building for years now, in part because the Biden administration helped build the coming nightmare or left the pieces lying about for Trump to capitalize on. That’s going to make a few people in quite a few sectors very, very rich.
