52% : Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, founders of the crypto platform Gemini, said they each donated $1 million in Bitcoin to Trump.
49% : On a podcast hosted by Andreessen and Horowitz, the a16z venture capital founders made their case for supporting Trump, calling his crypto platform a "flat out, blanket endorsement of the entire space."
48% : Meanwhile, Trump has made a concerted effort to paint himself as the pro-crypto candidate, even supporting the idea of establishing a reserve of Bitcoin assets.
36% : Musk, Sacks and others reportedly urged Trump to select Vance as his running mate, POLITICO previously reported.
35% : And over 200 venture capitalists and tech leaders pledged their support to Harris -- a group commitment intended to "push back to the narrative" that Silicon Valley is divided between Harris and Trump, tech executive and major Democratic bundler Steve Spinner told POLITICO in July.
18% : And another entrepreneur, mobile gaming company Zynga founder Mark Pincus, said on X on July 23 that he's against Trump, but would sit out the election if Harris "veers left (as Biden was starting to)," citing Biden's "recent proposals for price caps and taxes" in another post.
