"Meanwhile, the Tech Right’s work continues behind the scenes. While DOGE is widely considered a failed project, its spiritual successor has already arrived—though its organizers have chosen to fly more under the radar this time. The newly launched Tech Force, which aims to assemble a corps of engineers to “accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) implementation and solve the federal government’s most critical technological challenges,” is partnering with private sector companies like Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, OpenAI, Oracle, and Palantir.

And not everyone in tech has given up hope on the MAGA movement’s electoral prospects: Rabois hosted a fundraiser last night for JD Vance—arguably the politician who most embodies the Tech Right’s ideals—in Miami.

Meanwhile, Teboe said that tech leaders across the political spectrum are starting to realize their complicity in current events—and wondering if it’s too late to undo it. “The silence from folks who have been Trump’s closest allies and mouthpieces,” he told me, “is radicalizing some tech leaders. They’re starting to think, Oh fuck, what is this monster we’ve helped create?”"
