According to TechFlow, on October 17, Tim Draper, a well-known Silicon Valley investor, stated on X that he had donated roughly equal amounts to the campaigns of Harris and Trump.

"It has allowed my wife and I to meet both candidates and make a more informed decision," he said. "I have concluded that both candidates are in the right place, and while they will set different paths for America, I am optimistic that either path will be positive, and I support both candidates."

This behavior has been criticized by many in the public opinion. Ryan Selkis, founder and former CEO of Messari, said, "If you are so despicable that you can't support a president who doesn't allow our country to be occupied by illegal immigrant criminals, then what's the point of being a billionaire? People in Silicon Valley are so pathetic.
