Sure historically you could probably take educated guesses with a little homework on PAC donations, etc.. as to how different CEOs voted. And occasionally they took (or more often, they would allow their company PR department to take) stands on the social issues on the day.
But we are in entirely uncharted waters the last 2 years of CEOs going all-in fanboying, actively campaigning for, debasing themselves with political swag, and enabling the grifting of the current administration. In some cases we have wild eyed conspiracy theory posting and accusations of treason/disloyalty/whatever against the other party by said CEOs (and VC bros).
Insanely, many of these CEOs run companies where the US government is one of their main customers. Eventually the parties rotate, and these guys have opened themselves up to a large backlash.
