Tech’s Political Play Is Backfiring
Description
Silicon Valley’s political overreach is hitting snags: tech-backed candidates in California’s primaries flopped, AI super PACs face backlash for spending sprees, and towns are banning data centers. While tech giants aim to steer AI policy ahead of the 2028 election, their blunt-force tactics—like dumping millions on losing campaigns—are fueling public anger. Meanwhile, quieter state races show promise when tech money focuses on local issues, not buzzwords. Even some AI firms are distancing themselves from the chaos, fearing backlash could turn voters against the entire industry.
