Fuck The_Donald but this guy is such a piece of shit man. Every tech bro CEO has an ego like glass.

Does Bill Gates count as a tech bro as he's the only exception I can think of.

I think techbro doesn't really start until the 90s when people started seeing how colossally wealthy people like Bill Gates got, and decided to learn how to trick rich investors that didn't know anything about technology out of their money because "they could be the next Bill Gates" and rich old white guys didn't know any better.
