Analysts warn that the shaky partnership between Silicon Valley's big players and Trump's MAGA movement might actually hurt the U.S. in its tech race with China. By alienating global talent and markets, this alliance could weaken America's edge. Meanwhile, the growing overlap between tech and defense—like top execs joining the Army Reserve—could escalate tensions with China, turning "tech hawks" into geopolitical agitators.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about politics—it’s about whether the U.S. can stay ahead in tech. If Silicon Valley and MAGA’s marriage of convenience starts shutting doors to talent or trade, China could gain ground. Plus, mixing tech and military agendas might fuel a more aggressive Cold War-style standoff, which nobody wins.
