Donald Trump is the most tech-friendly President in American history. He enlisted social media to win office; he became a promoter-and beneficiary-of cryptocurrency, breaking long-standing norms around conflicts of interest; and, in his second term, he brought Elon Musk, the world's wealthiest tech baron, to the White House, to disrupt the federal government in the manner of a Silicon Valley startup.
