In the increasingly polarized political context of the U.S., many billionaires have publicly expressed their views and support for political parties.
First is George Soros, the billionaire known for his steadfast support for the Democratic Party along with enormous donations to political campaigns. Next, Mark Zuckerberg, the tech mogul, although still young, has also made significant contributions to Democratic candidates through his charitable foundation.
Elon Musk, the billionaire founder of Tesla and SpaceX, has a more complex stance, sometimes supporting the Republican Party and at other times leaning towards the Democratic Party, creating major market fluctuations whenever he speaks. Warren Buffett, the legendary investor, has always maintained a moderate position, and his support is often seen as a positive indicator for the market.
Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, also continuously promotes Democratic candidates and actively participates in environmental and education advocacy. In contrast, the Koch brothers, David and Charles, strongly support the Republican Party, significantly influencing conservative policies.
Moreover, Larry Ellison and Steve Schwarzman have made clever moves to protect their business interests, while Rupert Murdoch maintains his role as a supporter of the Republican Party. Finally, Larry Page and Sergey Brin from Google have also shown a tendency to support the Democratic Party through their donations.
The involvement of these billionaires not only reflects personal choices but also has a profound impact on the political system and the future of America.
