How Silicon Valley reacted to the Trump inauguration

America has a new a president in DoContiSilicon Valley’s reaction to the inauguration of the country’s 45th president was unsurprisingly swift. Thoughts on social media, particularly Twitter (TWTR), were far from positive, with members of the tech community expressing disdain for Trump overall, as well as displeasure with specific moments from the inauguration. Michael Solana, vice president at Founders Fund, the San Francisco-based venture capital firm co-founded by billionaire investor and Trump transition team member Peter Thiel, sent out a Tweet mocking Trump’s negative tone about the state of the nation. Meanwhile, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s former speechwriter, Dex Torricke-Barton, seemed less than optimistic that Trump would improve the state of the country. Barton made something of a splash in the tech industry last November when he quit his job as head of communications at Elon Musk’s SpaceX to focus on grassroots work to combat the rise of Trump. For his part, Sam Altman, president of the respected startup incubator YCombinator, went a step further than sending out a critical tweet. The 31-year-old high-profile member of the technorati announced via Twitter he had spent the last several weeks building Track Trump, a website that promises to track whether Trump fulfills his stated goals for his first 100 days in office.
