It doesn’t help that the tech leaders are at the forefront of an increasing amount of wealth disparity as many people are seeing themselves drop down in class due to this K shaped economy. Then to top it off they just aren’t charismatic at best, or actively disdainful of the plebs at worst. Bezos is probably the best at speaking to regular people but then you have guys like Musk who if he was just a blue collar stiff, would be getting his ass beat frequently if he showed up to bars and acted the way he does.
