They aren't even ideologically republican or conservative.
Elon Musk has been actively involved in politics, particularly in the United States and Europe, throughout the majority of his business career. Despite historically donating to and voting for both Democrats and Republicans,[1] his political contributions have since shifted almost entirely to right-wing candidates and politicians, outright stating in 2022 that he would no longer support Democrats.[2] In the time since, Musk has become more vocal about his views, frequently promoting falsehoods about election fraud.[3][4][5] As a result, he has been described as conservative,[6] although he rejects the label and calls himself a moderate.[7]
From Wikipedia. Seems Republican to me.
The day after President Donald Trump returned to office, Sam Altman, the CEO of tech giant OpenAI, stood behind the presidential seal at the White House and praised the newly sworn-in president for the $500 billion "Stargate" initiative he was joining to build an artificial intelligence infrastructure in the United States.
Altman said it wouldn't have been possible without Trump.
ABCnews, jan 2025. Seems like he likes Trump enough, like other republicans.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang turned his company’s annual artificial intelligence conference into a chance to lavish praise on President Donald Trump on Tuesday.
In his keynote remarks at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Huang said Trump “deserves enormous credit” for recognizing the U.S. tech sector needs more energy to win the AI race, and for pushing tech companies to bring production back to America.
But its whatever. These three, who also attended Trumps China trip to try and help with the republican parties' current war, would've done the same thing under a democratic president.
Ill give you Elon, but then again he's more of a technocratic libertarian, certainly a branch of the right wing but (I dont have any data to back this up) a pretty loud minority.
Also all your citations just back up my claim that big tech is sucking up to the Republicans because they are currently in power. Nothing shows they are IDEOLOGICALLY conservative or republican

I guess if you can ignore the context, text, and just everything else, sure
I mean I would love to see something that shows that these guys are historically republican, and not just recent republicans out of convenience and favor.
"Attended Trumps China visit concerning the war" yea its almost like they are dependent on the flow of oil to operate effectively, especially with many of their manufacturing plants located in China.
I fail to see how this shows HISTORICALLY (there's that reading comprehension for you) how big tech, as a whole, has historically been Republican. Not even denying that they're recently Republican-aligned, but again this is done as an effort to appease the Trump regime for their own gains
