Sam Altman slams Democratic Party, declares himself ‘politically homeless’ as Silicon Valley shifts right

While Altman was disappointed with his personal hope with political parties, his comments are a symbol of wider reorganization in the Silicon Valley-a region that is synonymous with progressive policy, which is now witnessing a high-level migration of its elite towards the political right.

“I am not great in identities, but I am very proud to be an American,” Al -Taman wrote in a leaflet on X. “This is true every day, but especially today – I think a firm belief that this is the greatest country on Earth. The American miracle stands alone in the history of the world.”

It was a criticism of the perceived drift of the Democratic Party away from innovation and entrepreneurship, as Altman explicitly called for a renewed focus on what he called “technical capitalism”-a philosophy that carries both the creation of wealth and wide prosperity through innovation.

Political transformation of Silicon Valley

Altman’s general break with Democrats is not an isolated event. It comes at a time when the loyalty of the silicon valley is in a state of flow. For decades, the technology industry was seen as a reliable ally of the Democratic Party, especially during the years of Obama, when the administration strengthened close relationships with technology leaders such as Eric Schmidt from Google. However, with the increase of the Biden administration, organizational audit – especially about artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, and anti -monopoly – increased the technology executives in the isolation gland.

Altman’s criticism repeats increasing feelings among technology leaders that the Democratic Party has become hostile to the forces itself – excitement, entrepreneurship, and creating wealth – which once identified the ethics of Silicon Valley.

The jury outside the true nature of this division, as the Silicon Valley has long been in liberalism, while Democrats from the left and the center vehicle have long preferred a strong organization, but Trump’s years have created new alliances. The executive managers of technology and prices are increasingly agreed on investment capital with the Republican Party with an expression of feeling that they did not feel at home with Democrats.

Political division in Silicon Valley is now crying. While many technology workers remain liberal or progressive, the higher levels – CEOS, adventure capital, and founders – are increasingly adopting conservative or liberal ideologies.

Fear of feelings “hostile to billionaire”

The transformation is driven by several factors:

• Many leaders believe that democratic policies suffocate innovation through excessive organization and punitive taxes.
• Executive managers cite increasing “anti -billionaire” and anti -technology within the progressive circles, which they see as anti -silicon culture of risk alleviation and wealth.
• The position of the Trump administration administration, especially in artificial intelligence and encryption, has proven attractive to the technical elites that seek to obtain less restrictions on their work.

Perhaps the most remarkable example of the right drifting in the Silicon Valley is Mark Anderson, co -founder of Andressen Horowitz. In the past, Androns became an audio supporter of Donald Trump, citing the organizational approach to the Biden Administration as a threat to the ecosystems to start operating. In July 2024, Andressen and its partners issued the “Tech Little agenda”, a political document that defends the cancellation of organizational restrictions, decreased taxes, and the approach of innovation. This was presented with the effectiveness of “Technology Technology” to support Trump and the Republican Party.

Andressen’s transformation is a symbol of a broader direction: the increasing technological elite is prepared to comply with conservative populism if this means protecting their interests and their vision of the future. Andresson’s “Technical Analysis Technology Statement” argued that technological innovation is the final solution to social problems and that organizational restrictions are obstacles to be overcome, and not guarantees to be respected.

Altman’s declaration of political homelessness and the right -wing transformation of Andresnin indicates a profound change in the political scene of the Silicon Valley – then there is a deep participation of Elon Musk with Republican policy. One of the main supporters of Donald Trump in 2024, then a prominent member of the first few months of Trump’s second state, and finally an exile from the White House, Musk recently launched the “America Party”, a new political party that he said would provide voters as an alternative to democratic and Republican parties.
