    “Tech leaders” refers to Elon Musk, his ally David Sacks, and one guy at Sequoia Capital. Nothing terribly surprising here.

      To be fair, I think a lot of people were ready to believe the headline as referring to many more in Silicon Valley, based on experience.

    I’d be curious to know what the sentiment is amongst tech execs that aren’t in the usual list of wacko, high profile, tech libertarians. It’s jarring how much that group can differ ideologically.
