In my 25 years of working in tech, I've observed that the none of my coworkers were groypers or 4chan refugees.
It's an unfortunate coincidence that 2/6 of Musk's young tech people happen to be advocates of white supremacy.

I'm not one to stick on these things, but imagine if Harris had taken the oath of office and not sworn on the Bible. The right-wing-media-bubble would be having a complete melt-down.

So you say you want deregulation to help those poor, repressed billionaires?
Perhaps you didn't learn about the period before the EPA, before pollution regulation, when "markets were free?"
Maybe you weren't taught the so-called, "anti-American," parts of history.

I don't know any trans people, as far as I know. The Right seems to be preoccupied with them.
I'm not qualified to judge. People have the right to live their own lives. I agree with 2016 Trump. It's not a problem or a preoccupation for me.
I will stand up against discrimination, though.
