Americans Don’t Like “Big Tech,” But They Like the Magnificent Seven

Data analyst David Shor has examined the latest public opinion polling on Silicon Valley tech companies and has found that Americans by a 60% to 25% margin have a positive opinion of America’s Magnificent Seven, especially Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Apple.

But they have a slightly negative view of the boogeyman of “Big Tech Companies” in general.

One fascinating reversal is that Republicans who used to be hostile to Big Tech in part because the firms were hostile to conservatives, are now slightly more positive in their views of the tech companies than Democrats. The one tech company that isn’t held in high esteem is Tesla. We suspect that’s driven by liberals who’ve turned against Elon Musk because of his DOGE association with Trump.

But on balance, this shift in public attitudes is a relief. How could Americans be against U.S. companies that dominate the tech sphere and have added some $15 TRILLION to our combined wealth and millions of high-paying jobs?
