The article discusses a shift in the political landscape of Silicon Valley, where tech workers like Jeremy Lyons have begun to engage in political protests, particularly against Donald Trump. This change reflects a growing divide between the conservative-leaning tech leaders and the liberal sentiments of the workforce. In contrast to the past, many employees now feel disillusioned by their industry's trajectory, which has transitioned from an idealistic focus on innovation to a profit-driven mindset. The mood of the workers contrasts with the increasing conservative populism among the executives.
"One of the things I've seen over that time is a shift from a nerdy utopia to a money first, move fast and break things," Lyons said.
"I think you're seeing a real gap between the leadership elite here in Silicon Valley and their workforce," said Ann Skeet, senior director.
