This week, I watched Alexis Ohanian, venture capitalist and cofounder of Reddit, stun a room of Washington insiders by criticizing the Trump administration’s immigration policies. This happened in front of at least one senior administration official: Michael Kratsios, the director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy and science adviser to President Donald Trump.
Ohanian was being inducted into the Consumer Technology Association’s CT Hall of Fame when he made these remarks at its annual Digital Patriots Dinner. (CTA is more widely known as the group that throws the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.) But at the end of his acceptance speech, Ohanian, whose grandparents had immigrated to America after fleeing the Armenian genocide, made what appeared to be spontaneous remarks calling for a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. After a year of watching tech CEOs supplicating themselves to Trump, this was a bit of a shock to the system.

In Terrell Owens, „that’s my co-founder*.“
Very brave 💙But it’s sad that this is something shocking, there used to be bipartisan support for this! Why are the agriculture, retail, hotel and so many industries allowed to profit to billionaires and benefit from this kind of immigration but the individual people are turned into scapegoats and now even threatened with not having bank accounts?
Amazing how few of our business leaders have courage. People will remember.
Isn’t he married to Serena Williams? I’m not shocked that Alexis Ohanian isn’t sucking up to the Trump administration as much as most tech CEOs.
This isn’t shocking at all really given what he’s been up to the last few years. He seems a lot less of a sociopath than most who got rich.
The only people he shocked are the ones that are seeing the stranglehold the administration has had on companies fray. His views are largely backed by business leaders across the board. It’s only this administration and it’s policies that have made „truth“ itself a pledge of allegiance.
Hes always been on the good side. Saw through trump since before term 1.
He’s Armenian and his family are immigrants and came here after fleeing from the Armenian genocide. I would hope he’s pro immigration; he would not be here otherwise.
I’m convinced that Washington Commanders fans truly are the best of us.
Florida retirees tend to say whatever the fvck they want. He got his and doesn’t need curry support for tech projects. He’s cashed out.
He’s married to Serena Williams. No chance he’s friendly with Trump
Dude you couldn’t shut the fuck up for a couple of years? Now we are all gonna get doxxed and have this place shutdown.
I’m joking and good on him for speaking up. Please speak up some more because everybody deserves dignity and respect.
>Ohanian’s paternal grandparents fled from Bitlis and Kharput during the Armenian genocide and eventually moved to the United States as refugees, settling in Binghamton, New York.
>his mother Anke, a pharmacy technician, was originally from Hamburg, Germany.
He has some insight to the lives of immigrants.
Probably because he’s not a big tech ceo anymore
Why do the advertising for Border Patrol on reddit then?
Good for him. It’s funny but ten years ago I would have said this is just basic human decency but now a days, with all the other tech bros being drugged up cowards who bend the knee, this is exceptional sadly.
That’s hilarious. Reddit is super MAGA, see how they recruit to trumps Gestapo?
Thank you
So why did he let ICE recruitment ads run on this platform? Is he looking to curry favor with the next regime? (Always hoping there is one, and it’s the correct one, of course 🙏)
No way, a reddit owner doing something good. Honestly, thank you for speaking up. We need people in high positions to speak out just as we need normal everyday working people. Don’t back down now when the right slanders you Alex.
Thanks for leaving Reddit to Steve, asshole
His wife would probably put a foot in his ass if he supported the immigration policies of the administration.
Immigration is America’s super power and Trump is America’s kryptonite.
So an actual good guy with a spine?
On one hand, good for him. On the other hand, it was nice-ish shitposting with you all.
