Tech billionaire endorses Trump

Mark Pincus, the billionaire founder of Zynga, has declared his support for Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election, marking a significant shift from his history as a lifelong Democrat. Citing rising antisemitism in the U.S., a perceived crisis in U.S.-Israel relations, and concerns about free speech, Pincus expressed that he believes America and Israel would be stronger under Trump's leadership. He noted that he has donated $1 million to each of the last four Democratic presidential campaigns, including Biden's, but stated he can no longer support the party. Pincus criticized the mainstream media and warned against censorship, suggesting that it threatens freedom akin to authoritarian regimes. His defection adds to a growing list of tech billionaires shifting their political affiliations, including Elon Musk and Tulsi Gabbard. Despite feeling his vote carries little weight in California's political landscape, he emphasized the importance of voicing his position.
