根据一项新民调,美国人更倾向于认为掌管最大科技公司的高管是共和党人,这标志着人们对曾被称为自由派硅谷的看法发生了剧变。
Americans are more likely to assume the executives heading up the largest technology firms are Republican, marking a drastic shift in perception of what was once known as a liberal Silicon Valley, according to a new poll.
据《政客》周一发布的一项新民调,美国受访者被问及八位现任或前任科技公司首席执行官,除前微软首席执行官比尔·盖茨外,对于所有其他高管,更多受访者认为他们个人是共和党人。这项由PF Global进行的民调凸显了人工智能和科技行业在过去两年试图争取特朗普总统青睐可能产生的持久影响。在特朗普第一任期的大部分时间里遭到猛烈抨击后,该国大多数科技领袖在其第二任期开始前花费数月试图讨好总统。
In a new poll published by Politico on Monday, American respondents were asked about eight current or former CEOs of technology firms, and for all but former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates, more respondents believed the executives are personally a Republican. The poll, conducted by PF Global, underscores the potential lasting impacts of the AI and tech industry’s attempts in the past two years to court President Trump’s favor. After being hammered by Trump for much of his first term, most of the country’s tech leaders spent months trying to get on the president’s good side before his second term.
在进行了大量就职捐款、前往海湖庄园拜访以及在自家公司实施政策变更后,特朗普与大多数领袖和解,并此后主张采取轻度监管方式,允许这些公司发展。《政客》的民调结果表明,硅谷的巨变给美国人留下了持久印象,并引发了关于这将如何长期影响该行业声誉的疑问。
Following numerous inaugural donations, trips to Mar-a-Lago and policy changes at their own firms, Trump reconciled with most of the leaders and has since advocated for a light-touch regulatory approach to allow the firms to develop. The Politico poll results signal the sea change in Silicon Valley made a lasting impression on Americans, and they raise questions over how this will impact the industry’s reputation in the long term.
特斯拉和SpaceX首席执行官埃隆·马斯克是共和党的主要资金支持者,是最有可能被视为共和党人的科技领袖,59%的美国受访者如此认为,而14%选择民主党。在短暂淡出政坛后,上周披露马斯克是2026年已知最大竞选捐赠者,本周期向共和党相关的政治行动委员会和竞选活动捐赠了至少2.76亿美元。
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, a major financial backer of the Republican Party, is the most likely tech leader to be viewed as Republican, with 59 percent of American respondents viewing him that way and 14 percent choosing Democrat.

对于Anthropic公司的首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代(Dario Amodei),尽管他今年在人工智能安全问题上多次与特朗普政府发生争执,仍有28%的受访者认为他是共和党人,20%的人认为他是民主党人。OpenAI的首席执行官萨姆·奥尔特曼(Sam Altman)过去曾向民主党政治行动委员会及部分共和党人捐款,因此有32%的受访者认为他是共和党人,22%的人认为他是民主党人。
For Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who repeatedly clashed with the Trump administration this year on AI safety, a plurality of 28 percent still think he is a Republican, while 20 percent pegged him as a Democrat.

Among the Trump 2024 voters who responded to the poll, 30 percent thought "Ancoates" is a Republican, while 19 percent went with Democrat, Politico reported. Harris 2024 voters, meanwhile, were split: 24 percent believed the fake CEO is a Democrat and 24 percent went with the GOP.
