Actually not really. It's doubtful that what he said would be executed for better and for worse but clamping on H1B abuses, tax evasions and media mega-corps isn't bad.
NSA style surveillance doesn't have direct impact on SV regardless on how much people cry foul ATM, it might in the future but not now.
Global warming and net neutrality is some what an issue but again overall bigger than SV and might not even be directly tied to it in the first place.
This isn't an article about the valley this isn't even about technology, to me it's just an random set of quotes with an incoherent message almost rivaling trumps own cyber quote about his 10 year old son.

Though it's worth reiterating the meme going around right now: anyone who claims to be able to predict the future statements and actions of Donald Trump from the past actions and statements of Donald Trump is lying.

State surveillance does turn away some foreign customers, according to prior articles and comments on HN.

The surveillance industry also acts as an implicit subsidy so it's a toss up if it's actually a net drain on Silicon Valley's economic position.

#8I like what Dave Rubin said about what to expect in the coming days:
"Media which got everything wrong will now tell you all the things that will happen as a result of the thing they said wouldn't happen."

It's like they can't stop making predictions. My Fb feed is full with predictions about all the bad things that will happen now that Trump won.
