> Trump and his allies, like Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan

In what way is Tan a trump ally? (I genuinely don't see it.)

A quick search on the FEC website only seemed to show him donating to democratic groups. Hell, he donated $125,000 to the "Harris Victory Fund" in 2024

Delusionalwould be what this article suggests.

> Tan is particularly enthusiastic about Vice President-elect JD Vance

Wow, this dude really is delusional.

I've never donated $150,000 to a politician. If I did, I dont think I'd feel hopeful about the other candidate winning. (Though, if I had that kind of scratch to donate, it'd go to animal rescues or food banks.)

Not-a-slowdown is so easy - just lower the prices...

And do not limit gfx RAM size for home PC's, you will see llms usage explode.

so will they just threaten labs to stop selling them chips, or what other ways could they use to change the mind of a private company?
