Tech Leaders' Open Letter on Trump
 
We are inventors, entrepreneurs, engineers, investors, researchers, and business leaders working in the technology sector. We are proud that American innovation is the envy of the world, a source of widely-shared prosperity, and a hallmark of our global leadership.

We believe in an inclusive country that fosters opportunity, creativity and a level playing field. Donald Trump does not. He campaigns on anger, bigotry, fear of new ideas and new people, and a fundamental belief that America is weak and in decline. We have listened to Donald Trump over the past year and we have concluded: Trump would be a disaster for innovation. His vision stands against the open exchange of ideas, free movement of people, and productive engagement with the outside world that is critical to our economy — and that provide the foundation for innovation and growth....

Free movement of people is unacceptable to a significant section of the population of the US and Europe. That is a major issue which creates destabilization and disaffection.

Only one person who has signed this letter works for a top ten tech company as listed by Fortune magazine.
In additon, many of the signatures are not tech at all. Quite a few big finance guys on the list though.

Yes, we have noticed how much they hate freedom, the very thing they claim to cherish the most. They also love brutal men in uniform who work for the government, but claim to oppose tyrannical government.

Welcome to our Brave New America, wherein the brave hide in remote locations, behind stockpiles of weaponry, with layer upon layer of security and the thoroughly brainwashed tell us we are being controlled.

The Right on business is schizophrenic and short sighted. Their policies essentially kill the middle class purchasing power that fuels commercial activity and general prosperity.
