Apartheid tech bro saying exactly what an Apartheid tech bro would say.
tech has nothing to do with him being a piece of shit, he's not even a technical person it's just the hat he like to wear. Are all the other car OEM CEOs tech bros too?
We don't call tech bros tech bros because they're technical. We call them tech bros because they are pieces of shit.
TV Tropes has the best description of them.
And Apartheid tech bro up there is their god.
edit: I have to mention that I have no idea where anyone gets the idea that tech bros are in any way "countercultural" or "anti-authoritarian" - I've never seen a tech bro that's anti-capitalist, which means they are as drenched in the politics of bootlicking as the rest. I guess the only difference is that they perceive themselves to be deserving of having their boots licked - despite the fact that they will happily lick the boots of Musk, Gates and the rest themselves.
