So yeah, a lot of folks in tech believe the lie, think of themselves as owner-class instead of labor-class. A lot of shitty, shitty politics follow from that core untruth. Not all, not being reductive here, but a lot.
As an addendum, let me emphasize: if someone is making 10^{5.5} dollars per year, they're rich. My point is that economic disparity is so incredibly bad in the US that being "rich" doesn't mean one has anything meaningfully in common with "owner-class rich" in terms of political power *or* security with respect to having basic needs met. It is a mistake for someone who is rich to think that it is not in their best interest to show solidarity with other laborers.
