At the time, Horowitz joined the ranks of Trump's support along with Tesla Inc TSLA CEO Elon Musk and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, saying Trump's election would be better for start-up companies.

"Since then, President Biden has dropped out of the presidential race and a friend is running," a close aide to Horowitz said, explaining that the situation has changed.

The FT analyzed that Horowitz's shift of position could create a conflict with his partner Andrierson.

However, another aide said, "Horowitz still sees former President Trump's policies in line with the company's interests."

"The company will not update its position on the presidential election because Harris has yet to disclose its technology-related policies," Horowitz said.

Both presidential candidates are sending courtship messages to the IT industry.

Former President Trump stressed that he is a "virtual currency president," and Vice President Harris last month proposed a tax credit for investments in areas such as bio, aerospace, AI and quantum computing.

Meanwhile, CNBC reported that JPMorgan immediately denied Trump's official social media account on the 4th when Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan, the largest U.S. bank called the "Emperor of Wall Street," said he supported Trump.

"Daiman doesn't support either candidate," a spokesman for Dimon told CNBC by phone.

When asked about it, President Trump replied that he did not post it, and that he did not know who did.
