Republican tech elites like Peter Thiel were once enticed by the prospect that Trump would usher in a new, ultra-capitalist era of Republican politics. Now they’re adrift.
Tech heavyweights who helped ignite Trump’s candidacy have told close associates they feel alienated from the GOP and are casting about for a candidate who more closely aligns with their extreme pro-business agenda.
I don't think business cared about the odd GOP "Anti-woke" agenda seeing it instead as benign red meat to feed to the base. Well, business didn't care until it started affecting the money train. At that point you get independents and a small number of business minded GOP voters staying home instead of voting for GOP candidates.
